SRT finalises COVID-19 resilience financing

SRT, the global provider of maritime surveillance, vessel tracking, monitoring, management and safety systems, is pleased to announce that it has completed its COVID-19 resilience financing, raising a total of GBP5.3 million of cash in a combination of loans and equity.

On 7 April 2020, the Company announced that it had raised an aggregate of GBP2.8 million from investors. We can now announce that the Company has agreed an additional GBP2.5 million loan facility provided by its main bank, bringing the total raised to GBP5.3 million.

The bank loan is being provided with the support of the UK government Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) and as such is interest and fee free and repayable in one year.

Commenting, Simon Tucker, CEO of SRT said:

"Considering the unknown timeframe of Covid-19 business restrictions, we moved quickly to secure our business for the future through a combination of cost minimisation and additional cash financing. With the confirmation of this GBP2.5 million bank loan, in the last few weeks we have secured a total of GBP5.3 million of additional cash. This financing enables SRT to continue to operate and service existing and prospective customers during the current situation and be in an optimal position to move forward with new system contracts once business conditions normalise."
