ArgentVive plc
("ArgentVive" or the "Company")
Sale of business assets of AuctionAssist
ArgentVive announces that it has completed the sale of the business assets of
its wholly owned subsidiary AuctionAssist Limited ("AuctionAssist") to retailOn
Limited ("retailOn"). retailOn is a company owned by the management of
AuctionAssist. The total maximum consideration is GBP76,000 to be paid out of
profits achieved over the three years to 31 December 2011. ArgentVive will also
receive a 24% shareholding in retailOn.
AuctionAssist, is a provider of asset value recovery solutions for distressed
inventories, which was acquired by ArgentVive in October 2007 but which has been
loss making since acquisition. The losses for the nine months to 31 December
2008 were approximately GBP300,000. AuctionAssist has negligible tangible
assets and will require additional financial support to continue
trading, support which ArgentVive was unable to continue to provide. The Board
believes that the sale of AuctionAssist is in the best interest of the Company's
shareholders.
The Board continues to explore further restructuring alternatives that are
necessary to secure the Company's future and further announcements will be made
in due course.
