The operator of self-propelled self-elevating support vessels for the offshore energy industry wins a contract spanning 985 days.

Shares hit this 12-month low on Tuesday as the provider of broadcasting hardware and software says a planned refinancing will, if successful, see current shareholdings ‘very significantly diluted’. Videndum says the main components of a refinancing proposal have now been agreed in-principle with the revolving credit facility lenders and its two largest shareholders. This comprises a firm placing, placing and open offer to raise around £70 million, backed by its two largest institutional shareholders and the exchange of £23 million of RCF debt for shares in Videndum for Polus Capital, a private credit lender. In addition, Videndum plans to repay £50 million of the group’s existing revolving credit facility, with the balance of the RCF to be restructured. As a result of the refinancing, pro-forma net debt as at November 30 would have been around £52 million, including £26.5 million of finance leases, representing a reduction in net debt of more than £90 million. ---------- Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd.
