As outlined in the announcement dated 24 January 2019 related to the corporate strategic review, the Group has now finalised the extension of the bank loan, increasing the debt from £12.75 million at 31 December 2018 to £17.5 million.

The repayment date of the additional £4.75 million is the same as the current loan, September 2026. An additional interest rate swap has been taken to fix the effective interest rate of the incremental debt at 4.0%. This is 0.5% above the rate fixed via similar swap instruments in 2016 which remain in place at an effective rate for the £12.75 million of 3.5%.

The other terms and conditions of the incremental loan are the same as the original facility as set out in the announcement on 16 September 2016.
