The latest update is out from Videndum plc ( (GB:VID) ).

Videndum plc has reached an in-principle agreement with its revolving credit facility lenders and two largest shareholders on a comprehensive refinancing designed to substantially reduce its leverage and stabilise its capital structure. The proposed package includes an approximately £70 million equity raise through a Firm Placing, Placing and Open Offer, the equitisation of around £23 million of RCF debt into new shares for lender Polus Capital, repayment of about £50 million of existing RCF borrowings, and a restructuring of the remaining facility alongside a new three-year super senior facility underwritten by Polus. On a pro forma basis, net debt as of 30 November 2025 would fall from £143.3 million to about £52 million, significantly improving key credit metrics, but the plan is contingent on final documentation, lender and investment committee approvals, and shareholder consent for a deeply discounted share issue expected to complete by the end of the first quarter of 2026. While existing shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in the equity raise, the company warns that their current holdings will be very significantly diluted and that, if the refinancing fails, a lender-led alternative is likely to preserve trading at the operating-group level but could leave current shareholders with no recovery.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VID) stock is a Hold with a £33.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Videndum plc stock, see the GB:VID Stock Forecast page.
