Highlights

  • Sale Completed: Boohoo sells its London office on Great Pulteney Street for £49.5 million.
  • Debt Reduction: Proceeds will be used to fully repay the remaining term loan due in August 2025.
  • Strong Financial Position: The company retains a £125 million revolving credit facility for future needs.

Boohoo Group plc (LSE:BOO), a leading online fashion retailer, has announced the completion of the sale of its London office located on Great Pulteney Street, Soho. The property has been sold to Global Holdings UK Limited, an independent property fund, for £49.5 million in cash.

Strengthening the Balance Sheet

The disposal of this non-core asset is part of Boohoo’s ongoing efforts to streamline its operations and strengthen its financial position. By divesting the Soho property, the company aims to improve its balance sheet and focus on its core business activities.

Using Proceeds for Debt Repayment

A significant portion of the proceeds from the sale will be used to fully pay off the remainder of Boohoo's term loan, which was originally due for repayment in August 2025. This action will reduce the company’s liabilities and leave it with a more manageable debt structure.

A Solid Financial Future

Following the repayment of the loan, Boohoo Group will maintain a £125 million revolving credit facility, which is more than sufficient to meet its financial needs going forward.
