- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has sufficient cash reserves to fulfil its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern period through to 31 May 2026. In considering the going concern status of the Company, the directors have also considered the going concern position of the Draken Europe Group, as it controls the resources of the entire Group (with banking cross guarantees in place) as well as the Draken US Group to the extent it applies to guarantee arrangements in place impacting the Company (note 13).”
Significant events
- “In April 2025, the Draken US Group secured a new Term Loan of approximately $175 million and a $40 million Deferred Draw Term Loan with Oaktree Capital Management (and its affiliates and related funds), referred to as the Senior Facilities Agreement. The new Term Loan has a GBP and USD portion, with £107 million loaned directly into Draken UK Bidco Limited and the remaining $34 million into Draken International. The Deferred Draw Term Loan is available for Draken International, LLC to draw for a period of three years.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
