Extension to banking facilities

QUIZ, the omni-channel fast fashion brand, announces that is has agreed an extension of its existing banking facilities with HSBC, which had previously been due to expire on 23 April 2020, until the end of July 2020.

As previously announced by QUIZ, the Group is continuing to take steps to preserve cash by eliminating non-essential spend, postponing capital projects, substantially reducing stock intakes and deferring payments wherever possible. Given the ongoing uncertainty regarding the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Board is undertaking a review of various potential short- and medium-term trading scenarios and has therefore sought to extend its existing facilities while this review is undertaken. The Board anticipates providing a further update on the Group's longer-term banking facilities towards the end of June 2020.

The Group confirms that it currently has an overdraft facility of GBP2.0m and a working facility of GBP1.5m (a total of GBP3.5m that can be drawn against) that will remain in place until the end of July 2020. In addition to these facilities, as at 20 April 2020 the Group had net cash of GBP6.0m.

Tarak Ramzan, CEO of QUIZ commented:

"We are taking the actions needed to preserve cash and manage liquidity throughout this unprecedented and challenging period in order to ensure that QUIZ remains well positioned to deliver its strategic plans over the longer term. We are grateful for the constructive dialogue with and ongoing support of our stakeholders, including colleagues, suppliers and partners as well as our bank, HSBC."
