At the latest Board meeting of the
Company, the Board instructed Management to enter into discussions
with Bondholders regarding the possibility of restructuring the €25
million 10% Convertible Bonds 2026 to change the payment schedule
from a single €25 million bullet payment due on 31 March 2026 to
five equal annual instalments of €5 million, to be made starting in
2025. If no agreement can be reached with Bondholders regarding a
restructuring, the Board will consider prepaying €10 million under
the Convertible Bonds prior to 31 March 2026, and attracting €15
million in new finance to pay the remainder of the Convertible
Bonds on 31 March 2026.
Once Management and the Board gain
additional confidence in the Company's cash flows and financial
position, and payments to Bondholders can be made according to the
new schedule, the Board would be in a position to review whether
the possibility exists of using part of the free cash-flow of
the Company to make distributions to shareholders and buy back
Shares in the Company, actions which - given the discount at which
Shares are presently trading - are both considered
attractive.
As per the annual general meeting
held on 18 June 2024, the Company has the authority to buy back
Shares, provided that: (i) the maximum number of Shares that may be
purchased is 10 per cent. of the aggregate number of Shares in
issue at the date of the annual general meeting; (ii) the minimum
price which may be paid for a Share is £0.01; and (iii) the maximum
price which may be paid for a Share is the higher of: (a) an amount
equal to 105 per cent. of the average of the mid-market values of a
Share taken from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for
the five business days before the purchase is made; and (b) the
higher of the price of the last independent trade or the highest
current independent bid for Shares on the London Stock Exchange at
the time the purchase is carried out.

Chairman
