The loans were secured against 5,392,536 ordinary shares in Industrials REIT Limited and due for repayment between 2025 and 2027. Lonat Limited has committed to repay the balance of the loans by way of a cash transfer of an additional £1,269,543 within the next seven working days. After this transfer, the loans will be fully repaid.
Following this transaction, the direct and indirect interest of Paul Arenson in the share capital of the Company will total 13,598,296 ordinary shares, equivalent to 4.55% of the issued share capital.
