포트폴리오 업데이트
Literacy is pleased to announce that it has completed the refinancing of one of its largest portfolio companies with new lenders. These new debt facilities released cash to shareholders, including Literacy, with the Fund's share amounting to £20m.
The transactions also included a larger re-organisation of the shareholder base, which saw some minority shareholders exit and realise their holdings. As a result, Literacy benefits through its shareholding in the portfolio company increasing, whilst also returning substantial cash to the Fund.
The new debt facilities will give the business access to more funding, allowing it to be more acquisitive and invest more into growth. This ought to position the company positively for the future and help the company to contribute to further NAV uplifts in future periods.
Literacy intends to use the cash proceeds to repay the majority of the amount drawn under its Revolving Credit Facility, before recycling these proceeds into new investments. This refinancing represents a further example of Literacy's portfolio companies growing maturity and interest from institutional funders in the Fund's portfolio companies. It also demonstrates the active involvement in managing the Fund's interests, ensuring that capital is recycled and deployed efficiently.
In line with recent announcements to the market, the current expectation is that Literacy will continue to receive meaningful cash inflows over the remainder of 2024, given the level of interest in its portfolio companies.
Signing and completion of the transaction has taken place, with £18.5m of cash received prior to Easter, with the balance expected in Q2. The transaction will have an immaterial immediate impact on NAV, compared to Literacy's most recently reported figures (from 31 December 2023).
The name of the portfolio company has not been disclosed and will remain confidential.
