RM plc, a global educational technology, digital learning and assessment solution provider (“RM”, the “Company”), announces that it has reached agreement with its lenders to extend its unconditional covenant waiver to cover the 30 November 2023 covenant test date.

On 29 August the renegotiation of the waiver for the period ended 31 August 2023 was announced. In today’s announcement the Company confirms that it has received waivers from its lenders for its 30 November EBITDA financial covenant and continues to comply with the conditions of each lender with regards to that waiver and the respective Facility Agreement. This concludes the waiver negotiations for the financial year ending 30 November 2023.
The renegotiation of an amendment and extension of its lending facility, which matures in July 2025 is ongoing and the Company still expects the renegotiation to have concluded by the end of Q1 2024.

"I am grateful for the continuing support of our lenders and the amendment to our facility’s covenants for the full year. Both lenders have held long term supportive relationships with the Company over many years and continue to support RM as it embarks on its plans to simplify the business, reduce its net debt, and return the Company to growth and profitability.”
