Voluntary administrators were appointed.

Simon Cathro and Andrew Blundell were appointed as Joint and Several Administrators of the Company and its subsidiaries as of today's date.

The Administrators will be undertaking an urgent assessment of the Company. A first statutory meeting of creditors must be held within eight business days of the appointment of the Administrators.
