Significant events
- “In 2024, the Group successfully launched a new channel, Viasat True Crime, further strengthening its channel portfolio and enhancing revenue diversification. Growth in advertising sales within the Group's existing markets, supported by continued investment in digital development, remains a key driver of performance.”
- “The Group made a further investment of £800k ($1,007k) in Marquee Arts Limited ("Marquee") during Q1 2024 to help support Marquee's working capital needs.”
- “During 2022 Alfa Bank purportedly assigned the loan to a new lender, Bild Invest LLC. The Group reserved its legal position in respect of the loan and the purported assignment and made no capital or interest payments to AO Alfa Bank or Bild Invest LLC. In December 2023, Bild Invest LLC purportedly further assigned the loan to Onyx LLC. The Group continues to reserve its legal position in respect of the loan and all purported assignments and continues to make no capital or interest payments to AO Alfa Bank, or any purported assignee. As a result, the loan for the 2024 financial year has been treated as frozen as at the year-end 31 December 2023 position.”
- “On 16th October 2024, the entire share capital of V World Holdings Limited transferred to I Gofman following the exercise of a call option, prior to this the shares were held by the senior managers, Benjamin Groocock, Reuben Wheeler and Karin Heijink”

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
