("Nature" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Sale of waste water collection and storage vessel
New facility agreement
Nature Group PLC (AIM:NGR), the provider of port reception
facilities and waste treatment solutions for the oil, marine and
process industries, is pleased to announce that it has signed an
agreement for the sale of its waste water collection and storage
vessel, the M/V Crystalwater (the "Vessel" or the "Crystalwater"),
for cash consideration of GBP1.8 million (the "Disposal"),
resulting in a positive cash inflow for the Group in the first
quarter of 2015. Completion of the Disposal is subject to a final
technical inspection of the Vessel at the place of delivery, which
is expected to take place at the end of February 2015.
The Crystalwater was purchased by the Group from its cash
resources in December 2011 and was used to assist with the
operational challenges that the Group faced in the area following
the accident in Gibraltar which disabled the local storage tanks.
As previously indicated, in light of the current planned
reconstruction of the Gibraltar facility, for which the Group
received approval in the summer of 2014, the Crystalwater will no
longer be required as a storage facility and its sale is an
important step for the Company in normalising its operations in the
Gibraltar and Mediterranean area. Alongside the reconstruction of
onshore facilities, the Company is evaluating the requirement for a
new seagoing barge that is more in line with operational needs and
with greater operational efficiency.
In addition, Nature is pleased to announce that it has concluded
an important new facility agreement for its Oil & Gas division
with Nordea Bank AS in Norway (the "Facility"). The facility will
finance the construction of new Sludge Treatment Units ("STUs") and
Compact Treatment Units ("CTUs"), which will then be leased to the
Group before being deployed to the Group's customers. Three STUs,
already funded from the Group's existing cash resources, will now
be financed using the Facility and this will have a positive impact
on the Group's cash flow in the first quarter of 2015.The Facility
reinforces the Group's ability to finance future direct investment
in new CTUs and STUs for its Oil & Gas division which will be a
key element of the division's, and the Group's, expected future
growth.
Andreas Drenthen, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Both the sale of the Crystalwater and the new facility
agreement are significant steps in our action plan for the recovery
in the Group's performance and in underpinning future growth. A
return to normalised operations in Gibraltar and having a financing
structure for our growth ambitions in our Oil & Gas division
are both essential elements in our strategy."
