Clear Leisure Plc
(“Clear Leisure” or “the Company”)
Mediapolis Appeal Ruling
And Recognition of First Charge over Asset
The Company has been informed by its Italian legal adviser that the joint
appeal against the Mediapolis Srl winding up petition, as announced on 21
November 2017, has been rejected by the Turin Appeal Court.
The legal advisers to the Company are currently assessing the Court ruling to
consider the opportunity of appealing the judgement in the Italian High Court.
Clear Leisure has also received from the appointed receiver of Mediapolis a
‘creditor ranking’ proposal with confirmation of the Company’s wholely
owned subsidiary, Clear Leisure 2017 Ltd, having first charge right on the
land plot. The final approval of the creditor plan is subject to the ruling of
the Bankruptcy Court, with a first hearing due to take place on 23 February
2018.
Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman of Clear Leisure, commented:
“While we are not happy about the result of the appeal, confirmation of the
receiver’s proposal to the Bankruptcy Court of the key recognition of our
first charge over the Mediapolis land, is a positive step forward. We will
update the market once the Court makes a final judgement on the receiver
proposal.”
