Significant events
- “On 15 May 2025, an agreement was reached to suspend the quarterly amortisation payments due to HSBC from 27 May 2025 onwards, with repayment instead to be made as a single bullet payment on the loan termination date, being 27 May 2027.”

The nominal value of the cancelled shares was deducted from share capital, and the excess over nominal value was charged to retained earnings.”

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
