Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc has completed the sale of its stake in Capital Private Finance Limited for £2.7 million.

CPF will shortly cease to be an Appointed Representative (AR) of MAB, reducing the number of MAB advisers by 14. MAB’s exposure to the London market will reduce to around 6% in terms of revenue as a result.

This dividend will be paid on 26 August 2016 to ordinary shareholders on the register on 12 August 2016. The ex-dividend date is 11 August 2016.
