I have been through the documents with her and am aware of the timing pressure. We are currently drafting a pack of board and shareholder resolutions and ancillary documents which will be required to effect the re-org. A list of these documents is attached for your reference. May I just check whether you have signatories for each of the relevant Phaidon entities which are available to sign these documents over the next few days? As flagged in Hannah's email (attached), we still need a few details on the intra-group loans before we can finalise the documents required to waive or capitalise these. EFTA00867974 Perhaps we could have a quick call today to discuss these intra-group positions? Please do let me know your availability; I can join a call at any time.
