The companies listed below, each of which Mr Jonathan Entract was a director of, formed part of the GFP Group (the "Group") and were subject to creditors' voluntary liquidations ("CVL") in connection with an investment by InfraRed Environmental Infrastructure Fund (the "Fund") (managed by InfraRed Capital Partners Limited). The Fund provided shareholder loans to the Group and, following the disposal of the underlying assets in each company, there were insufficient proceeds to repay those loans in full. All third鈥憄arty creditors were paid in full. The unsecured creditor balances reported in the liquidators' final accounts therefore relate solely to shareholder creditor claims (being amounts owed to the Fund), which were not fully recovered. The companies to which these CVLs applied are set out below:

路 European Investments (GFP) Limited was dissolved on 21 January 2025 following a CVL, with unsecured shareholder creditor claims of approximately 拢63,087,999 and a nominal distribution of 0.01 pence in the pound.
