Increase in Related Party Loan from Fordwat Limited
Watford Leisure announces that yesterday Fordwat Limited ("Fordwat"), a
substantial shareholder in the Company, advanced a further GBP0.5 million to the
Company's 96 per cent. owned subsidiary, The Watford Association Football Club
Limited (the "Club"), under its existing secured loan agreement with the Club
(the "Further Advance") to assist with the working capital requirements of the
business.
The amount outstanding under the secured loan is now, in aggregate,
approximately GBP6.55 million (including accrued interest). The loan is
repayable on demand and accrues interest at the rate of 4.5 per cent. above the
base rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc (except in default when the
rate rises to base rate plus 7.5 per cent.). Security is by way of a guarantee
and debenture over the Vicarage Road Stadium ranking behind certain other
pre-existing secured creditors.
The provision of the Further Advance is deemed to be a related party transaction
under the AIM Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the directors of the Company
consider, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, that the terms of the
Further Advance are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders
are concerned.
The secured loan is intended to be cancelled as part of the Company's proposed
issue of secured bonds with detachable warrants in due course.
