Mediapolis hearing update
As previously advised by the Company, the Ivrea Court reconvened today for the hearing to consider the winding up petition of Mediapolis srl. No announcement has been issued by the Court regarding today’s proceedings and no firm date has been given as to when the Court will announce its findings.
However, the Company has provided to the Court further evidence of settlements with creditors, including the €500,000 payment to settle a €4.29 million loan with the transfer of the right to Clear Leisure. The Company has irrevocably committed to convert the full amount of this €4.29 million in Mediapolis srl into new capital, at a General Meeting of Mediapolis’ shareholders to be held in due course.
Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman of Clear Leisure, commented, "Although we are, obviously, hoping for a favourable ruling as a result of both the new evidence Mediapolis’ lawyers submitted to the Court today and that tendered over the past months, the outcome remains in the hands of the judges."
