Update re. Convertible Loan Notes
Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV) announces that discussions with holders of convertible loan notes ("CLN Holders") in the Company remain ongoing. The Company originally issued £4,750,000 of fixed interest Convertible Loan Notes ("CLNs") in October 2010.
As previously announced on 30 June 2015, in the Company's annual results for the year ended 31 December 2014, and on 28 August 2015 in the Company's half-yearly results for the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Company currently has a balance of outstanding CLNs with a face value of £2,978,396 which mature on 31 December 2015.
The Company has previously announced that these CLNs would need to be extended or further funds raised to pay them down if agreement with the CLN Holders could not be reached.
The Directors believe that progress has been made with the CLN Holders, however if negotiations do not reach a positive conclusion, or further funding cannot be secured in the event the CLN's are repayable, the Company would have to take action to reduce its cost base and to consider whether the Company would be able to continue to trade.
The Directors are confident that further injections of funds can be secured to fund the Company's working capital position and that further revenue generating contracts will be won.
