“Based on these assessments and taking into account the refinancing and strengthened capital structure, and the written support that has been committed by Pemberton, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future i.e. at least 12 months from date of signing these financial statements.”
Subsidiaries
- Bonhams Scotland Limited · 100% held · Scotland · Dormant
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year-end, on 16 October 2025, Epiris LLP completed the sale of its ownership interest in the Vantage Group to Pemberton. In connection with this transaction, the Group's existing debt was refinanced and significantly restructured, materially improving the Group's liquidity and reducing its leverage.”
- “Post the year end the Group refinanced in order to provide additional liquidity. The refinance involved additional loans with Pemberton Asset Management.”
