Early exit of Paris lease

 

Mulberry announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mulberry Company (France) SARL, has agreed to terminate the lease of its store at 275 Rue Saint Honoré, Paris, France (the "Property") and exit the Property early.

 

As at 27 March 2021, the book value of the Property in the Company's accounts was £7.9 million. The consideration, which is receivable once Mulberry has exited the Property, expected to be during September 2021, is £13.2 million.

 

The net proceeds after tax, expected to be around £10.8 million, will strengthen further the Company's cash position and support investment opportunities in line with its strategic plans.

 

The Company plans to open a new store in Paris once international tourism returns. The objective will be a location which supports the Company's omni-channel approach and optimises its customer centric retail experience.
