Successful Loan Note Restructuring

 

The 600 Group PLC (the "Group"), the diversified industrial engineering company (AIM: SIXH), is pleased to announce the successful restructuring of the Company’s 2022 8% Loan Notes (the “Loan Notes") and associated warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 20 pence per new ordinary share (the “Warrants"), pursuant to which the redemption date of the Loan Notes and the expiry date of the Warrants have been extended by 18 months to 14 August 2023 (the “Extension”).

 

The Loan Notes, which were originally issued by the Company in 2015 and had been due for redemption on or by 14 February 2022, remain as issued in all respects save that, following approval by the requisite majority of Loan Notes in issue by way of written resolution, the redemption date of the Loan Notes has been extended to 14 August 2023.

 

In addition, the life of the Warrants has also been extended to 14 August 2023. All other terms remain unchanged.

 

Haddeo Partners LLP ("Haddeo"), of which Paul Dupee, the Executive Chairman of 600 Group, is the managing partner, is a holder of £810,000 of the Loan Notes and 5,050,000 Warrants. Haddeo is a 20.0% shareholder of the Company. In addition, Mrs M Carrick, wife of Neil Carrick, the Company’s former Group Finance Director and thus a related party, also holds £50,000 of Loan Notes and 250,000 Warrants. With both Haddeo and Mr Carrick deemed related parties of the Company pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies, their participation in the Extension constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. 

 

The Independent Directors of the Company being, Stephen Fiamma, Derek Zissman and Stephen Rutherford consider, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, that the terms of the Extension are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company’s shareholders are concerned.

 

The extension of the Loan Notes redemption date and the life of the Warrants for these related parties are on the same terms as all other Loan Note and Warrant holders.
