THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 AS IT FORMS PART OF UK DOMESTIC LAW BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018 ("MAR"), AND IS DISCLOSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 17 OF MAR.
19 December 2022
Hawkwing plc
("Hawkwing" or the "Company")
Update on Hawkwing's Unsecured Convertible Loan Notes ("CULS")
Further to the announcement on 12 December 2022, a hearing took place in the Insolvency and Companies List of the High Court on 16 December 2022 in respect of the court application from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP acting for Hanover Investors Management LLP on behalf of Hanover Catalyst Fund ("Hanover") seeking to appoint Sarah Megan Rayment and Robert John Armstrong of Kroll Advisory Limited as administrators to the Company. Hanover's application for an immediate administration order was rejected, and a full hearing of the application will take place in February.
As a result of the above the Company's application to the court to obtain injunctive relief in respect of the statutory demand made by Hanover was adjourned until February, when both matters will be heard together. Hanover alleges a breach has occurred which is an event of default, and is the basis of the statutory demand. This breach has been waived by a majority of CULS holders and, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CULS, this waiver binds all CULS holders.
The Company will give a further update to the market in due course.
