FTSE 250 movers: Caledonia gains on sale

(Sharecast News) - Caledonia Investments said it was selling its majority stake in retail wealth manager Seven Investment Management (7IM), to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board for £255m. Caledonia is expected to receive cash proceeds of around £255m, net of transaction expenses, for the sale of its ordinary and preference shares in 7IM.

The cash will be held on deposit for future investment. Caledonia's shareholding in 7IM was valued at £187.1m at the end of March, excluding a further £13.2m which will be invested into the business prior to completion.
