Whitbread plc Reportedly Plans to Sell Swathe of Hotels to Unlock £1.5 Billion for Shareholders Whitbread plc (LSE:WTB) is reportedly planning to sell a swathe of hotels to unlock £1.5 billion for shareholders. According to The Times, the company is expected to announce plans later this week for the sale and leaseback of one in five of the freehold hotel properties it currently owns outright, following a strategic review of its business model. About 50% of Premier Inn hotel freeholds are owned by Whitbread PLC. It was understood that this will be reduced to 40% under changes to the company's five-year plan, due to be unveiled alongside its annual results. The move will turn Whitbread PLC into a majority leasehold business for the first time. City sources told The Times that the move, coupled with other initiatives to boost cashflow, would release about £1.5 billion that could then be returned to shareholders. The decision to switch to what is being dubbed a "capital lighter" model follows a sweeping review of Whitbread PLC's business model. The Times said the move is likely to be welcomed by Whitbread PLC investors. Aankondiging • Jan 13

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.
