## From the administrators' statement

As previously noted, The Group had been EBITDA loss — making for some time. Given the ongoing trading losses, a sale process was conducted during the second half of

2019 (led by Houlihan Lokey) however this did not lead to |

a completed sale and accordingly the Group continued to trade in its existing form.
