Amendment to standby loan arrangement

19 Nov 2013 07:00

RNS Number : 3437T
Zoo Digital Group PLC
19 November 2013
 

ZOO DIGITAL GROUP PLC

("ZOO" or "the Company")

 

Amendment to standby loan arrangement

 

ZOO announces that it has agreed an extension and an amendment in the terms of the standby working capital loan facility provided to the Company by the wife of Dr. Stuart Green, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as announced on 31 January 2013 (the "Loan Facility") so as to provide support for the expected growth of the business and as seasonal working capital cover.

The Loan Facility has been extended by up to £400,000, to a total of up to £600,000. The Loan Facility is expected to be drawn down in full in the current financial year, will now attract interest at a rate of 10 per cent. per annum on outstanding balances from time to time and repayments are forecast to commence from April 2014. The Loan Facility will remain secured on the assets of the Company. No fees are payable to Dr Green or his wife in respect of the Loan Facility, but the Company will recompense Dr Green for any reasonable costs incurred by him in the provision of the Loan Facility.

ZOOsubs, the Company's proprietary Cloud-based subtitle production and management system, is gathering momentum and the proportion of the Group's revenue from this service is increasing. As provision of the subtitling service entails payment by ZOO of sub-contract translators prior to cash receipts from the Company's customers, growth of this service line has driven a working capital requirement. The Company is in negotiations with a number of suppliers of commercial financing to support its expectations of continuing growth. Meanwhile, ZOO will continue to monitor its cash resources and requirements, and has entered into the Loan Facility in order to support current trading and growth during a period when the Company's cash resources are, and traditionally have been, constrained.

As Dr. Green is a director of the Company, the amendment to the Loan Facility as described above constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies. The Company's directors (other than Dr. Green), having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, finnCap Limited, consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
