Gresham Computing said that the consideration was satisfied in cash in full on closing and that the proceeds from the disposal would be used for general corporate purposes.
The unaudited gross assets of GCIC as of December 31st were £0.4m and its unaudited revenue was £1.8m. Gresham reported that the group loss on disposal of GCIC was approximately £0.3m with a net cash inflow of approximately £0.3m and the disposal is expected to have little impact on the group's ongoing profitability at an operating level.

"This transaction represents the final step in the restructuring and refocusing of Gresham's activities, which to date has resulted in a transition to stability, profitability and growth."
Gresham Computing's share price was unchanged at 85.88p at 13:12 on Monday.
