"Following the conclusion of the recently announced oversubscribed placing we are today pleased to announce the repayment of £50m of our term loan. The repayment will be made with funds raised from the placing and through the Group's initiative to reduce stock levels as we become a leaner and lighter business, focused on maximising value for all our shareholders.
