Westminster Group Plc
('Westminster', the 'Group' or the 'Company')
Extension of Convertible Loan Notes to 1 May 2021
Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed services and technology-based security solutions worldwide, is pleased to announce that in view of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic it has received the required support and agreement from noteholders to extend the maturity date of its Convertible Secured Loan Notes ("CLNs") to 1 May 2021.
As previously announced, the Company had commenced a staged redemption programme of its CLNs in January 2020, reducing the outstanding amount by £561,250 to £1,683,750, which was then expected to be fully redeemed before the previous maturity date of 30 June 2020. This extension provides the Company with the flexibility to make redemptions at any time up to 1 May 2021, thereby prudently conserving cash during the current uncertain times, although the Company will still look to make redemptions at the earliest opportunity as and when appropriate. All other terms of the CLNs remain unchanged.
