An extract..

“Mr Black said: “Market conditions are very challenging at the moment and CD&R would not have been expecting that when they were putting together the deal last year.

“That is absolutely going to increase the need to think strategically about the balance sheet and I imagine they will be looking to deleverage.

“Frankly, it just shows how much can change in a year.”

Another question that remains unanswered so far was whether CD&R will seek to sell the Morrisons food manufacturing business itself, rather than just the underlying properties, he added.

There is also speculation that the added pressure could lead to a greater selloff of store premises than expected.”

This wasn’t going to be an asset stripping exercise or so we were told at the time. Nothing will change...until things change

Morrison’s debt was derived from their massive expansion project years ago this is a move to drop the debt
This is the the venture capitalist debt borrowed to buy Morrison’s that they are now struggling to service. Sell and lease back is always the first step these firms take when they begin to asset strip. Morrison’s owned all their stores, the only supermarket that does, the major part of their sale value. I just wonder what that value will be now, surely commercial property is dropping the amount that is being given up due to work from home etc.
