Greene King, a Suffolk based pub and brewing company, has bought 11 pubs from Punch Taverns in a £30.4m deal which is expected to complete on 1 July 2009. The pubs, which are based in London and Scotland, will join over 2,500 pubs and restaurants currently in the Greene King portfolio and were funded by proceeds from a recently completed rights issue totalling £207.5m. Adrian Seagers and John Gynn, both of Birketts LLP’s Corporate and Property teams, advised Greene King on the deal.
Adrian commented, “We are absolutely delighted to have supported Greene King on the acquisition and wish them every success with the expansion of their pub portfolio. This transaction once again highlights the expertise we can provide in terms of corporate and property deals.”
