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.”
