Significant events
- “In September 2024, the Company exited the CPU as a standalone product and initiated a restructuring programme, which included redundancy costs and other associated expenses.”
- “In the current year, ITGL entered into a Senior Facility Agreement ("SFA") with affiliates of Fortress Investment Group. The SFA requires ITGL and its subsidiaries to maintain a minimum liquidity at all times, and a minimum level of revenue on a rolling four-quarter basis starting in the third quarter of 2025.”
- “The Group obtained a $100 million convertible term loan to support its continued development and growth from funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress"). As a result of the new investment, the Group cancelled its £35.0 million revolving credit facility and repaid the outstanding $15.0 million balance on its Facility Agreement with the Parent, and cancelled this facility.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
