The Barkby Group PLC ( (GB:ROAD) ) has issued an update.
Roadside Real Estate PLC has amended its put option agreement with CGV Ventures 1 Ltd covering the sale of its remaining 48.2% stake in Cambridge Sleep Sciences Ltd, restructuring the disposal into three tranches and accelerating the exercise periods. Up to 29% of its current CSS interest can be sold in March 2026 for up to £14 million, a further 29% in June 2026 for up to £14 million, and the remaining balance in September 2027 for up to £20 million, with consideration only reduced if Roadside elects to sell fewer shares.
The company expects to realise at least £48 million from the exit, generating an aggregate profit of more than £7 million over the financial years to September 2026 and September 2027, with cash received on completion of each tranche. Management plans to deploy most of the proceeds into funding Roadside’s transition into a petrol forecourt and convenience retail operator, a move that is expected to materially strengthen its balance sheet and underpin execution of its concentrated growth strategy.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ROAD) stock is a Hold with a £59.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on The Barkby Group PLC stock, see the GB:ROAD Stock Forecast page.
