- “Separately, the 2,000 redeemable Class E preference shares (£100,000), previously held by Christopher Hohn, were waived and returned to the Company for nil consideration on 6 March 2025 and cancelled, giving rise to the gain on cancellation of £100,000 recognised in the profit and loss account (see note 9).”
- “During the year, the Company incurred redundancy costs of £46,748 (2024 £21,671), which are included within staff costs.”
