consideration of GBP32.0m. The disposal was conditional upon

regulatory approvals, all of which conditions were satisfied prior
to completion. The company was sold on a cash-free, debt-free
basis, except for the inclusion of certain advance ticket receipt
monies. Transaction costs incurred by the Group totalled GBP3.0m.

agreement of the completion balance sheet which is expected to be
finalised in the second half of the year.
