Boohoo (LON:BOOH) Group PLC (AIM:BOO) has completed the sale of its London office to further pay off debts, the clothing retailer said on Monday.
Global Holdings UK Ltd bought the Great Pulteney Street, Soho office for £49.5 million, Boohoo confirmed in a statement.
Boohoo added the move to sell the “non-core” and “non-strategic” asset would further strengthen its balance sheet, with the company having embarked on a turnaround earlier this year.
“Part of the proceeds will be used to pay down, in full, the remainder of the term loan, which was due for repayment in August 2025,” Boohoo said.
Boohoo would be left with a £125 million revolving credit facility, “sufficient for its needs going forward,” as a result, it added.
The retailer also said chief executive Dan Finley had formally joined its board after being appointed to the helm in November.
Confirmation came after Boohoo shareholders rejected a bid by largest shareholder Frasers Group PLC (LSE:LON:FRAS) to appoint founder Mike Ashley to its board last week.
