Investment thesis

Looks cheap but ownership + security both unclear — probable value trap.

Why interesting: Headline metrics may be attractive.

Why risky: No PSC visibility combined with multiple live charges; transacting likely slow and expensive.

Opportunity decay

approaching window · 12-months

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 25.9y old — refinance window within 12 months

What this business does

Primary activity: Operation of sports facilities

Sector: Arts, entertainment & recreation

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed active trading company — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 68/100 (strong), bankability 65/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Confirmation statement overdue. Annual confirmation statement not filed on time. Required statutory filing — overdue is a strong discipline signal. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (45/100).

🏦

clean up first

· Oldest live charge is 25.9 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Two lenders — manageable, but coordination required.
· Legal-friction score 38/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
