As you will note from the proposals, there is no prospect of any funds becoming available to unsecured creditors of either of the Companies other than by virtue of the prescribed part. As a consequence, I do not propose to summon meetings of creditors. If, however, creditors whose debts amount to at least 10% of total debts of either of the Companies make a request in the prescribed form within 8 business days of these proposals being sent out, a meeting will be held in that company. Copies of the prescribed form (Form 2.21B) are enclosed in case you wish to request a meeting. I would draw your attention to the provisions of Rule 2.37 of the Insolvency Rules 1986 which provide that if a meeting is requested, it will only be held if the expenses of summoning and holding such a meeting are paid by the creditor or creditors making the request and if security is first deposited with me for payment.

    FACEBOOK Blah blah Messages etc.. ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS CHARTS The chart in this document is collated daily by us as part of our commitment to ensure the marketing we conduct at our schemes is as social as it is effective for both the centres and their tenants. The statistics represent independent figures provided by Facebook and is based on the algorithms they run evaluating the relative performance of Pages and Posts relative to ‘Engagement’, measuring reactions, comments and shares. Messages PR harvest figures for 240 UK Shopping Centres and present them in a tabular form. We display the results in relative terms, which allows us to judge the performance of Pages when comparing the size of schemes and the number of ‘Page likes’ they enjoy. We also show the absolute positions where more Page likes, bigger budgets and boosts all work to generate increased engagement. Messages PR deliver astonishing results, regardless of how they are measured. In this vital Christmas sales period, our centres were placed within 10 of the top 20 places in relative terms and occupied the entire top 7. Even in absolute terms we placed 4 schemes in the top 10 UK Centre pages. Pentagon, Chatham was also number one in absolute terms, the best performing UK Shopping Scheme on Facebook, outperforming the mega centre Bluewater. Similarly Parkway in Middlesbrough outperformed The Metro Centre and Grays outperformed intu Lakeside by significant margins as you can see from the charts. We do not achieve these results by clever tweaking of posts, giveaways or boosts – It is because the work we undertake is genuinely social that we generate extraordinary results on social media.
