Covid 19 – Insight, Analysis, Options, Choice – gaming industry

 
We make an inventory of the estimated impact of Covid 19 in the short and medium term among the entrepreneurs we have been able to finance in recent years. A survey was sent out yesterday morning (March 16, 2020) and the first results are already in. With updated liquidity insights, we want to help our entrepreneurs to ensure continuity in a timely manner and where necessary immediately. We will explore and implement the options for each company, together with the entrepreneur and the advisers and accountant involved.
 
We will communicate the impact for our investors and financiers as well as possible and in a timely manner. It is a search for a balance. Here too the focus is on continuity. We will use new and existing additional bridging options to create liquidity space where necessary. In addition, a short-term impact on existing financing cannot be ruled out. This could, for example, consist of an extension of the term, a temporary repayment freeze or other measures. Everything is aimed at overcoming the pandemic for a period and guaranteeing continuity for the longer term, for all parties.
 
If adjustments are (imminent) at a company in which you are involved, as a financier or as an investor, we will inform you as soon as possible.
