Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have therefore concluded that a material uncertainty continues to exist relating to the going concern as the Company is reliant on the continued support of CPPIB in relation to: - the Mezzanine debt outstanding being repayable on demand of CPPIB; - any draw down under the accordion feature requires CPPIB approval; and - the extension of the mezzanine facility requires CPPIB approval.

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
