Significant events
- “In late 2023, the Directors concluded that without additional third-party funding being available to the company, all future loan originations would have to cease. Accordingly, the company was placed into a managed wind down, ceasing all new business from Q1 2024 and the associated final loan originations being completed in Q2 2024.”
- “The sale of the entirety of the Retail Point of Sale (RPOS) loan portfolio was executed in June 2024. This has been treated as an adjusting post balance sheet event.”
