Significant events
- “On 23 May 2025, the ultimate shareholders of the Anglian Water Group provided unconditional and legally binding commitments to inject £500m into the Anglian Water Group, pro-rata to their current shareholdings. £300m will be provided by early September 2025 and paid down the group structure to Aigrette Financing (Issuer) plc (the borrowing entity at Midco which also includes Osprey Acquisitions Limited), where it will be used to repay a £240m bond which matures in March 2026, as well as repayment of drawn bank revolving credit facilities. The remaining £200m balance of shareholder funding will be provided by the Group by early June 2025, which we plan to cycle the funds down the group structure to Aigrette Financing (Issuer) plc, the unrated Topco borrowing entity, where it will be used to repay £200m of bank loans maturing in mid-June 2026.”

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
