Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2 to the financial statements which indicates that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful completion of a refinancing by December 2026. These events and conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2, constitute a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern.
