The Chairman of the Management Board of JSC “Latvian Shipping Company” Robert Kirkup said: “We failed to gain the minimum 75% support to be able to implement the capital raising. Although I am disappointed, I appreciate for some shareholders the request for more investment from them into the company was a difficult decision. We continue to seek alternative ways of raising finances in order to meet credit liabilities for the refinancing two ships in June this year. We have been negotiating with banks in tandem with the Capital raising process on refinancing the existing credit liabilities and are confident that these negotiations will be successful, despite the complicated situation in the shipping and banking industry.”
