Calan Healthcare says that it the $12.83 million sale of what is known as the Takapuna site on the corner of Shakespeare and Taharoto Roads on Auckland's North Shore to Metlifecare has now been declared unconditional.

With the sale now unconditional, $8.5 million of the $12.83 million is payable. The balance of $4.33 million, which attracts interest at the rate of 6.5% per annum, is payable over a maximum period of four years. The deferred settlement amount will be fully secured.

To this point, the $12.83 million has been a non-income producing asset, and it has had the effect of suppressing the Trust's earnings and distributions. This sale will deliver a significant increase to our earnings stream.

The sale value represents approximately 6% of the trust's total assets and is a significant step forward in making our portfolio fully yielding.

Over the past 18 months the trust has been aggressively pursuing a strategy of converting non yielding assets into yielding assets.

The sale proceeds will be used to retire debt.
