Strategic Review and Trading Update
Entu (UK) plc, ("Entu" or the "Company" or the "Group"), the
home improvement group providing energy efficiency products and
services to homeowners and businesses in the UK, announces an
update on its strategic review which commenced on 6 July 2017.
The board had previously announced that, following receipt of
several approaches and with the support of its existing lenders,
the Group was proceeding with a small number of interested parties
in relation to a potential refinancing of the Group. The Board
repeats that all of the proposals received attribute little value
to the equity in the Company.
Discussions with the preferred party have failed to reach a
conclusion although discussions with one remaining party are
continuing. The Company is undertaking these discussions as a
matter of urgency given the need to bring financial stability to
the Group in the very near future.
If the current discussions are successful, the Board expects the
Group to see a further increase in its level of indebtedness as new
working capital is made available to the business. If current
discussions are unsuccessful, it is likely that the parent company
will be placed into administration with a view to selling the
trading businesses. There is no certainty that any of these
proposals, or any alternatives, will be ultimately successful. The
Board expects to provide a further update shortly.
The Group also announces that it has decided to review its RRSA
service which it has temporarily stopped providing whilst it
evaluates alternative formats. The Directors are assessing the
impact on its profit guidance to the market for the current year
and the following year.
