Real Good Food plc
("RGF" or the "Group")
Funding Agreements: Extension to Redemption Dates, Related Party
Transactions
The Company announces today that, following negotiations with
the Company's three major shareholders, NB. Ingredients Limited
("Napier Brown"), Omnicane International Investors Limited
("Omnicane"), and certain funds managed by Downing LLP ("Downing")
(together the "Major Shareholders"), it has now finalised an
amendment deed (the "Amendment Deed") relating to the funding
agreements (the "Agreements") set out in the appendix to this
announcement.
The Agreements have been amended such that the final repayment
dates of each of the Agreements have been extended to 19 May 2023
(the "Final Repayment Date") with no change to the interest rate
payable by the Company pursuant to each Agreement. The repayment
dates had previously been extended to 19 May 2022. The change
provides additional financial flexibility for the Group to continue
its balance sheet restructuring, and to accelerate and maximise the
value of the remaining Group businesses, Renshaw and Rainbow Dust
Colours.
Related Party Transactions
As Napier Brown and Omnicane are substantial shareholders of the
Company and Judith MacKenzie, a director of the Company, is also a
Partner of Downing, the Amendment Deed is deemed to be a related
party transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies. Maribeth
Keeling, Mike Holt, and Gail Lumsden, the Independent Directors of
the Company for this purpose, having consulted with the Company's
Nominated Adviser, finnCap Ltd, consider the terms of the Amendment
Deed to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's
shareholders are concerned.
The information communicated in this announcement is deemed to
constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse
Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014. Upon the publication of this
announcement, this inside information is now considered to be in
the public domain.
Mike Holt, Non-Executive Chairman commented:
"The Board appreciates the support of its major shareholders in
agreeing these amendments. Following the Group's sale of Brighter
Foods on 11 May 2021, its indebtedness has halved, and the retained
businesses are performing as expected. This continued funding will
support the Group as it seeks to maximise shareholder value"
