RNS Number : 8961Q CML Microsystems PLC 14 July 2025
14 July 2025
CML Microsystems Plc
("CML", the "Company" or the "Group")
Sale of Excess Land at Group Headquarters
CML Microsystems Plc (AIM: CML), which develops mixed-signal, RF and microwave
semiconductors for global communications markets, announces that it has agreed
the sale of excess land at the Group's headquarters in Essex to Chapel 110
LLP.
The disposal, which comprises non-operational land identified as surplus to
requirements, is expected to generate total cash proceeds of £7 million,
which will be received in two tranches over the course of the current
financial year, being £4 million with immediate effect and the balance of £3
million during March 2026.
The sale forms part of the Group's ongoing strategy to unlock value from its
non-operational property assets, as previously outlined in market updates. The
proceeds will further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide
additional financial flexibility to support ongoing growth opportunities.
The transaction does not impact the Company's operational activities, and the
Group's headquarters will continue to operate from its existing facilities on
the retained land.
Nigel Clark, Chairman of CML Microsystems, commented:
"This transaction demonstrates further progress in realising value from our
non-core property assets and reinforces our commitment to efficient capital
management in support of long-term shareholder value creation."
