GCP Infrastructure Investments Ltd - Middlesex, England-based investor in UK infrastructure - Disposes of two operational onshore wind farms at Pates Hill and Milton Keynes.

The farms are bought by OnPath Energy Ltd - Houghton-Le-Spring, England-based renewable energy company - which is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management -Toronto-based investment firm.

GCP does not provide the total transaction price, but says disposal proceeds represent around 88% of GCP's GBP913 million net asset value at September 30.

Day one cash proceeds are GBP16.5 million, plus a further GBP1.3 million in deferred proceeds, and GBP1.0 million in tax benefits. Remaining payments depend on production milestones at the wind farms.

Proceeds are to fund GCP's capital allocation programme. The firm in 2023 said it would recycle GBP150 million worth of assets. GCP on Thursday says it continues to prioritise lower leverage and commits to at least GBP50 million in shareholder returns.

Current share price: 73.43 pence, up 2.0% in London on Thursday afternoon

12-month change: down 0.9%
