Tripartite Financing Agreement Secured

The Board is pleased to announce that on 2 September 2022, the Group agreed a revised and extended funding arrangement with the Company's main secured creditors, HSBC and the Pension Scheme. This arrangement provides access to ongoing bank facilities as well as visibility over repayment schedules through to June 2025.

As part of this agreement, new facilities have been entered into with HSBC, the Group's lending bank, comprising a Term Loan of GBP34.5m and a Revolving Credit Facility of GBP3.5m. In parallel, the Group has reached agreement with the Trustees of the Pension Scheme in respect of both the actuarial deficit and the resultant deficit repair contributions to be made over the next three years in addition to the currently agreed gross contributions of GBP2.8m (2021), GBP3.9m (2022) and GBP3.8m (2023). Future deficit repair contributions have been agreed at the base position of GBP3.5m annually plus 25% of any surplus above adjusted EBITDA over GBP18m (2024), extending to 26% of any surplus above adjusted EBITDA over GBP18m (2025).

Nick Sanders, the Executive Chair, commented "The completion of this refinancing is another positive milestone in the development of Carclo plc and allows the Group to focus on the execution of our growth strategy, aimed at capturing the significant long-term opportunities available to the Group".
