RNS Breakdown: Key Highlights & Strategic Updates
1. AUDIT PROGRESS – Crucial Step Toward Lifting Suspension
• GEM Global Yield LLC SCS’s backing has allowed PPP to provide a going concern memo to auditors.
• The audit is now in final review stage with Crowe UK LLP — this is a major step toward resuming normal operations, including holding the AGM and getting shares trading again.
• Historic audit delays were caused by missing records — now resolved under the new management team.
2. CLEANUP OF LEGACY ISSUES – New Board’s Proactive Housekeeping
• £500k judgment negotiated and settled in December 2024.
• Past directors prioritized their own pay over creditors — the current team is correcting this.
• US debt was understated (US$600k vs. previously disclosed US$300k), but renegotiation has already begun.
• These are not new problems, but they’re being tackled transparently.
3. US STRATEGY – Still Exploring Value Opportunities
• The deal with Globalvision International U. LDA hasn’t closed yet due to debt complexities.
• However, discussions are ongoing, and new paths forward — potentially still involving Globalvision or others — are being pursued.
4. PLEDGED SHARES – Controlled Share Issuance with Shareholder Oversight
• 62.6 million shares are to be issued from a previously agreed arrangement (announced in 2023).
• The upcoming General Meeting will seek shareholder approval — the market won’t be flooded with free-float shares overnight.
• A prospectus will be published before any shares are admitted to trading.
5. GEM CONVERTIBLE LOAN & WARRANTS – Strategic Long-Term Funding Secured
• GEM has committed via term sheet to provide:
• £20M Standby Subscription Facility (SSF)
• 80M warrants at 4p, exercisable over 5 years
• This funding will:
• Finalize the audit
• Resume share trading
• Support growth strategy
• A better funding offer was sought but GEM’s terms were most favorable and give PPP access to short, medium, and long-term capital.
