Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CHELSFIELD, the property group chaired by Elliott Bernerd, has unveiled plans to raise pounds 110m from a stock market listing that will value the company at up to pounds 250m.
About pounds 50m of the capital is being raised via a placing and intermediaries offer and pounds 45m from shareholders.
Mr Bernerd announced his intention to float Chelsfield last year when new shareholders, including P&O, British Land and M&G, were brought on board after a pounds 65m placing. They will keep their holdings and Mr Bernerd will retain about 30 per cent of the company.
Chelsfield is buying a portfolio of retail and industrial properties from the Allied-Lyons Pension Fund for pounds 30.6m. This will be partly financed by the issue of pounds 15m worth of shares, giving the fund a 6 per cent stake.
