RE: A nice little extract for you guys.24 Mar 2016 00:44
That's all very nice, but has nothing in common with our situation.
Our capital reduction is due to writing off £88m of goodwill leaving the company with no distributable reserves ... without which the company cannot pay any dividends ... no distributable reserves, no dividend ...
Read the circular ...
"As announced today in connection with the publication of the Company’s consolidated interim results
for the six months ended 31 December 2015, and against the backdrop of challenging industry
conditions and the decline in profit, the Company has conducted an impairment review of this
goodwill. On completion of this review, the carrying value of goodwill has been revised to £100
million and, accordingly, a goodwill impairment of approximately £88.4 million has been recognised in
the interim accounts.
Following the above revision to the carrying value, the Company’s distributable reserves will be in
deficit to the amount of approximately £100.3 million.
The Company is not permitted to pay any dividends unless it has distributable reserves"
