The receivers intend to realise value from the mortgaged property, including preparing a sale process, and the company has warned that loss of control over the joint venture shares would end equity accounting for the investment and could trigger a material, though non-cash, impairment charge that may adversely impact the group’s reported financial performance for the relevant period.
