Why now? Tooru called the Mindflair holding a non-core asset. It said proceeds would be better deployed across its core health and wellness businesses.
What's the endgame? The sale sharpens Tooru's strategic focus, redirecting capital from a passive investment into its branded operating businesses. Livingston has committed not to sell the acquired shares for at least 12 months.
What could go wrong? Because Livingston is both a director and substantial shareholder of Tooru, the transaction is a related party transaction under AIM Rule 13. Non-executive director Nicholas Lee was excluded from the board's consideration due to his role as a Mindflair director.
Independent directors Stephen Argent, Philip Haydn-Slater, and Alexander Phillips concluded, after consulting nominated adviser Beaumont Cornish, that the terms are fair and reasonable for shareholders.
