Affirmed

“The Directors have received a letter of support from both the intermediate holding company and immediate parent company, Quadgas HoldCo Limited and Quadgas MidCo Limited, stating that they will not ask for the reimbursement or prepayment of loans granted to the company which would materially affect the company's financial capacity and be willing to give appropriate financial support to enable the company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a further 12 months from date the financial statements are signed.”
