Progress of the Administration

CVA Proposals

In accordance with their Report & Proposals, the Joint Administrators have prepared Draft CVA Proposals which were circulated to the Board, Arch Capital Partners LLP ("Arch"), Greencastle Media and EHGOSF on 30 September 2021.

The Joint Administrators understand that negotiations are ongoing between the Board, EHGOSF and Arch the Secured Creditor.  For a viable CVA proposal to be put to creditors and members, new funding will be required, or some other arrangement made available, to enable the Company to make settlement proposals to creditors. A CVA cannot bind Secured Creditors to the extent that they are secured. Therefore, a CVA will only be viable if the disputes (or a means for resolving them) between the Company, EHGOSF and Arch can be agreed.

It is hoped that the negotiations will be finalised shortly to enable the CVA Proposals to be finalised and circulated to creditors and shareholders, who will be entitled to vote at meetings called for that purpose.
