In a bourse statement, Finablr said that the company has been hurt by a liquidity squeeze at both group and operational business level as well as the fallout from NMC Health, coronavirus-related travel restrictions and a downgrade of Travelex’s bonds.
Finablr stated that it was urgently seeking to complete its assessment of its liquidity and cash flow position and negotiate the steps that are necessary to address its short- and longer-term financing needs.
NMC Health has been subject to allegations of accounting and governance shortcomings by short-seller Muddy Waters Capital.
