Material uncertainty over going concern
Taken as a whole, the Castrol business is highly profitable and cash generative, however after change in ownership, Stonepeak may seek to reorganize its legal entity structure or transfer substantial components of the business to other existing legal entities within the new owners' control. Such an eventuality could result in certain individual legal entities or holding companies within the group no longer being required, as currently constituted, leading to their liquidation. Accordingly, from the perspective of the company as a standalone legal entity, there is a material uncertainty until the plans of Stonepeak are known, that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
