“Progroup Board Limited is primarily financed through an intercompany loan from Progroup Board GmbH. Progroup Board GmbH receives all necessary financing from Progroup AG. Under the existing credit agreements, Progroup AG and its subsidiaries have transferred extensive securities to bondholders and banks. The bond conditions and credit agreements contain provisions under which the bondholders and banks would be entitled to a right of termination as well as to a realisation of the securities in the event of the occurrence of a significant deterioration of the profitability, financial and assets situation of the Group or the failure to fulfil certain credit conditions. The financing of Progroup AG and Progroup Board Ltd could be detrimentally affected, if the external economic environment were to deteriorate further, for instance as a consequence of the government debt crisis, and the bond and credit conditions could not be fulfilled for this reason. This could also result in liquidity risk. The company reached very good sales results in the past years and used this time of growth to establish a strong financial structure and build financial reserves. Consequently, the company has a very solid financing situation and the existing credit contracts are designed in a crisis proof manner. The company possess sufficient liquidity reserves to remain well financed for a long time even in dire times.”
Significant events

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
