Esken Limited (LSE:ESKN) noted the recent press speculation regarding Esken Renewables. The Group confirmed that in accordance with the previously announced strategic review of its operating businesses, it is in advanced discussions with Pioneer Point Partners LLP regarding a possible disposal of the entire issued share capital of ESKEN RENEWABLES LIMITED. Should the Group complete the disposal of Esken Renewables, the net proceeds would be used to: repay the committed funding drawn under the Group's facilities agreement with the specialty lender and associated costs; further contribute to the Group's defined benefit pension scheme; and provide additional working capital in the short term.

Discussions are ongoing and there can be no certainty that any transaction will be agreed or, if so, on what terms.
