“After making enquiries and considering the support available from the intermediate parent company described above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation for 12 months from signing these financial statements. These considerations include consideration of the Group's directors' assessment of going concern (set out in the Group accounts of Midco I dated 19 December 2025) extended for a period up to 12 months from signing these accounts, which included the significant levels of cash and undrawn committed long-term facilities available to the Group and the Group's directors' going concern assessment including stress testing, and an assessment of any developments since that date that would adversely affect that conclusion. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
