Significant events

The shareholders of Entrepreneurs First Operations Limited exchanged their shareholdings for shares in Entrepreneurs First Capital Limited in the same proportion as their previous holdings. The reorganisation has not affected the underlying trading operations or financial position of the group.”
- “Subsequent to the year end and prior to the authorisation of these financial statements for issue, the Group successfully completed a funding round, raising approximately $120m through the issue of new equity. The funding will be used to support ongoing operations, investment opportunities, and working capital requirements.”
