Related Party Transaction

 

The Company confirms that on 14 January 2023, its wholly owned subsidiary, VEL Property Holdings Limited entered into an agreement to reissue its Deep Discounted Bond with Friends Provident International Limited ("FPI") ("New Deep Discounted Bond").

 

The principal purpose for issuing the New Deep Discounted Bond was to extend the redemption date from 14 January 2023 to 14 July 2023. The New Deep Discounted Bond has a subscription amount of £2,791,022 and the nominal value is £2,901,745 (which incorporates an annual interest rate of 8%).

 

Related Party Transaction

FPI operates on an execution only basis on the sole instruction of Hugh Osmond, a director and substantial shareholder of the Company so accordingly the issue of the replacement Deep Discounted Bond is deemed to be a related party transaction pursuant to AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rule for Companies. The Company's directors (excluding Hugh Osmond, who is indirectly interested in this transaction) consider, having consulted with Various Eateries' Nominated Adviser, WH Ireland Limited, that the terms of the New Deep Discounted Bond are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
