“Based on its forecasts to 31 December 2026, the Company expects to remain profitable on an annual basis. However, the Company is dependent on the activities of the Parent Company's group and the Ultimate Parent Company ('CommScope Holding Company, Inc.'), given the integrated nature of the Parent Company's activities and the centralised treasury structure whereby cash and cashflow is managed on a group-wide basis. Consequently, the Company has obtained a letter of support from the Ultimate Parent Company 'CommScope Holding Company, Inc' that confirms that CommScope Holding Company, Inc. will provide financial support to the Company to assist in meeting its liabilities to the extent that funding is not otherwise available to the Company to meet such liabilities for the period from the date of approval of the financial statements until 30 September 2026 'the going concern period'.”
