davis loan agreement3 Jun 2021 23:32
rest assured there is nothing whatsoever to cause concern in relation to the charge documentation recorded at companies registry. it looks (and is in a sense) quite complicated, but that is simply a reflection of the relatively complicated corporate structure, in which napster is now involved. technically the davis credit facility i being made available to rhapsody international (a subsidiary of napster group plc. the first charge joins in napster group plc as the holding company and the second much lengthier charge joins in rhapsody, melody vr ltd and various other subsidiary companies to provide security for the loan by way of their individual IP copyright etc. this is because all the companies within the corporate structure benefit potentially from the loan facility, either directly in the case of rhapsody orindirectly in the case of Napster group plc and all the other companies. it's very comprehensive to ensure that all the IP,copyrights etc are caught in the security net. nothing unusual and only to be expected. the negative pledge is simply a way of strengthening slightly the security position of the principal lender. it has no sinister or (apologies for this) negative implications or connotations over and above the simple fact that if you borrow money the lender expects to be repaid and wants security over assets to ensure that they are. indeed when we originallyspotted the charge registrations some time ago, it was seen as a positive sign as it suggested matters were moving forward. still no lansing davis appointment though.
