Scheme of Arrangement: update on creditors' meeting
Amigo Holdings PLC (LSE: AMGO), a leading provider of guarantor loans in the UK, provides an update on the Scheme of Arrangement (the 'Scheme') of ALL Scheme Ltd ('SchemeCo') announced on 25 January 2021, following the completion of the Creditors Meeting held on 12 May 2021.
Amigo is pleased to announce that, of the creditors who chose to vote, 95.09% by number representing 95.72% by value, voted in favour of the Scheme. In total, the Company has received 74,877 votes in favour of the Scheme and 3,863 votes against the Scheme, with values of £230,744,046 in favour and £10,319,764 against.
The Scheme requires more than 50% of all creditors who vote to vote in favour, and the total value of their claims to represent at least 75% of the value of the claims of all creditors who vote. In order to become effective, the Scheme requires sanction by the Court. The Court hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement is listed to be held on 19 May 2021.
Gary Jennison, Chief Executive Officer of Amigo, commented: "Our customers have voted overwhelmingly in support of the Scheme, showing that customers due redress believe that the Scheme is the fairest and best option for them. We are naturally disappointed by the FCA's stated intentions to oppose the Scheme.
If the Scheme is not approved by the Court, then Amigo is highly likely to enter into administration. This will deny mis-sold customers access to a share of the compensation to which they are entitled and will also have a significant impact on the many millions of UK adults who cannot access mainstream credit. The new Board and management hopes that the voting and views of Amigo's past and present customers are listened to and they are not denied the compensation they are entitled to. We strongly believe that the Scheme is the best for all our customers - past, present and future - and the only way for Amigo to continue to be part of the solution for providing financial inclusion in the UK."
