As expected, GLI Finance (GLI) has announced measures to improve its balance sheet and help it to continue paying a 5p per share annual ordinary dividend and possibly provide additional funds to grow its loan book. GLI will seek shareholder approval to issue £20-40m of new zero dividend preference shares maturing in 2020 (2020 ZDP shares) and a potential issue of convertible unsecured bonds (CULS) to replace an existing loan facility. The EGM will take place on 21 December 2015 and the listing of the 2020 zeros on 22 December 2015.
