FTSE 250 movers: Hill & Smith bucks the trend with National Signal deal
(Sharecast News) - The FTSE 250 was down 1.42% to 17,569.86 at 1500 BST. Engineering services company Hill & Smith gained after the firm said it has acquired the business and assets of portable solar construction equipment manufacturer National Signal as part of a deal valued at almost $30.0m.
Hill & Smith will make an initial cash payment of $25.3m for National Signal, on a debt and cash-free basis, with a further cash payment of up to $4.0m payable, conditional on targets being hit in the three years post-acquisition.
The FTSE 250-listed group stated the acquisition of National Signal, located in Fullerton, California, will be funded from its existing banking facilities.
Tullow Oil was up on reports that OPEC+ could cut production in an effort to boost crude prices.
Property firms were under more pressure on fears of more interest rate rises, with Capital & Counties, Urban Logistics REIT, UK Commercial Property REIT and Warehouse REIT all lower.
