Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC ('Dunedin Enterprise')

We are pleased to announce that Dunedin Enterprise's investment in Fernau Limited ('Fernau') was realised in a sale of the business to Moog Controls Limited, a subsidiary of Moog Inc. of the USA.

Dunedin Enterprise invested £2.55m in the £16m buyout of Fernau Avionics in June 2007 and has realised £7.2m on exit, an uplift of £3.3m from the valuation at 31 December 2008. This represents an uplift in net assets of 11.1p per share. In total Dunedin Enterprise has received income and capital of £7.7m from the investment, a multiple of over three times the initial investment.  

Fernau is a world-leading designer and manufacturer of Navigational Aids to the civil and military aviation markets in the UK, Europe, North America and the Far East.
