HIPL has entered into a conditional sale agreement of land in Cumbria, for a cash consideration of £1,200,000 (the "sale"), to MJ Gleeson plc ("MJG"). The sale is conditional on the receipt of satisfactory planning permission and the approval of a majority vote of MJG shareholders.

NASCIT holds a minority interest in MJG. In addition, Christopher Mills is an Executive Director and, together with his close relatives and entities controlled by him, a substantial shareholder of NASCIT. He is also an Executive Director of HIPL and a Non-Executive Director of MJG.

The sale is deemed to be a "smaller related party" transaction within Listing Rule 11.1.10R and this announcement is made in accordance with Listing Rule 11.1.10R(2)(c).

The sale constitutes a substantial property transaction for MJG under the Companies Act 2006.

In addition, the sale is conditional on the receipt of satisfactory planning permission.
