Økonomiske problemer for Donington Park

Donington Park har sendt et råb om hjælp ud, ved at udvide aktiekapitalen betragteligt og samtidig sælge de nye aktier med rabat.

På banens hjemmeside kan man således læse, at de planligger en udvidelse af aktiekapitalen på intet mindre end 135 millioner £.

Her bringer vi en direkte kopi af deres udmelding, på engelsk:

"Donington Holdings Plc announces the launch of its offering of sterling-denominated first priority Wed 14th Oct 09 - 11:44

14 October 2009 - Donington Park, England, Donington Holdings Plc (the “Company”), the parent company of Donington Ventures Leisure Limited that operates the Donington Park motor racing circuit, has launched an offering of £135,000,000 aggregate principal amount of first priority senior secured notes due 2016 (the “Notes”).

The Notes are expected to be issued at a discount to the principal amount thereof. Purchasers of Notes will also be able to subscribe for warrants (“Warrants”) for no additional consideration.

The offering of the Notes and the Warrants is being made solely by means of a confidential offering memorandum. The net proceeds of the offering of Notes, together with a concurrent offering of preference shares, will be used in large part to fund the redevelopment of Donington Park in preparation for the hosting of the Formula One British Grand Prix in 2010."
