Barkby Group PLC - Abingdon, England-based investor in roadside property and in consumer and life sciences companies - Intends to refinance existing debt facilities, including its GBP12 million debt facility provided by Tarncourt Properties Ltd, a vehicle controlled by Executive Chair Charles Dickson and his family. Says this facility was revised in December last year, with interest paid at a rate of 3.0% above the Bank of England's prevailing base rate and an expiry date of June 30, 2024. Intends to simplfy its capital structure, after announcing a joint venture with Meadow Partners LLP at the end of October. It is considering a new pound sterling denominated private debt offering, which would be issued on market terms. Says "certain existing shareholders" are likely to participate in the offering. A further announcement will be made "as appropriate", Barkby says.
