SPP Credit Advisors and Circle8 Group Eliminate $35 Million Convertible Seller's Note in Global Settlement Agreement - Seite 2
The agreement also establishes an approximately 18-month orderly share disposition framework under which shares used to satisfy the remaining SPP indebtedness may be sold in an orderly manner. Upon repayment of the remaining indebtedness, whether through share sales, refinancing or otherwise, any remaining shares will be returned to the Company in accordance with the terms of the definitive settlement agreement.
“This definitive settlement agreement represents an important turning point for Circle8,” said Guus Franke, Chief Executive Officer of Circle8 Group. “By resolving these legacy financing matters, eliminating our $35 million Convertible Seller's Note and substantially simplifying our capital structure, we have strengthened our financial position and removed a major source of uncertainty. With these legacy matters behind us, we can direct our attention and resources toward building a stronger, more profitable company and creating long-term shareholder value and focus on strategic acquisitions.”
With the definitive settlement agreement now executed, Circle8 is focused on improving operating performance, expanding margins and strengthening cash flow, while continuing to enhance management accountability, corporate governance and financial discipline across the organization. The Company also continues to evaluate and pursue opportunities to optimize its capital structure, including the refinancing of Lyneer Staffing's senior asset-based lending facility, as it positions itself to execute its long-term growth strategy.
