  • Discontinued operation and sale of Scanmed

Description

On 16 November 2020 the Group received an offer to dispose of its Polish operation, Scanmed. The related agreements were signed on 24 November 2020 and the transaction was subject to regulatory approvals. The sale proceeds per the agreements were lower than the carrying value of Scanmed at 30 September 2020. With the receipt of the offer, the Group considered it prudent and appropriate to impair the carrying value at 30 September 2020 to reflect the fair value less costs to sell. The impairment recognised in FY2020 amounted to R793 million.

The sale of Scanmed was concluded on 26 March 2021 and was reported as a discontinued operation. Scanmed met the criteria of a discontinued operation as Scanmed operated in a separate geographical area and was previously disclosed as a separate segment.
