THL SELLS ROADPASS DIGITAL SHAREHOLDING FOR NZ$23.9M
thl advises that it has today sold its minority shareholding interest in TH2connect, LLC (trading
as Roadpass Digital) to its joint venture partner, THOR Industries, for approximately NZ$23.9
million. The sale represents a one-off gain on sale of approximately NZ$1.6 million against the
carrying value of the shareholding.
thl has also received a payment of approximately NZ$823,000, reflecting the pro rata
proportion of the fixed annual dividend that was due to be paid by Roadpass Digital to thl in
April 2022.
thl first commenced a managed exit from Roadpass Digital in April 2020. At that time, thl
granted THOR an option exercisable by March 2024 to purchase thl’s remaining interest in
Roadpass Digital for approximately US$20 million.
Grant Webster, thl Chief Executive Officer, said “given thl’s focus on preparing for the return of
international tourism, it is an appropriate time for thl to exit its remaining shareholding in the
Roadpass Digital joint venture and for THOR to become sole shareholder. With the ongoing
support that THOR can provide, we believe that the Roadpass Digital business has an exciting
future ahead.”
“thl has valued its digital partnership with THOR originally formed in 2018 and we will continue
to work together on various industry opportunities and initiatives.”
