Material uncertainty over going concern
The Eurobonds issued by the Company reached final maturity on 6 April 2025 and all loan servicing obligations have ended. The Company will therefore no longer continue its principal activity in future. For this reason, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. No adjustments were required to the assets and liabilities of the Company in order to prepare the financial statements on this basis.

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
