On January 27th, 2003, confirmation was received from the French Commercial Court that MandrakeSoft had been granted a six month observation and protection period to establish a continuation plan. This protection period provides the ability to renegotiate the Company's current liabilities. A court-appointed administrator has been named to assist MandrakeSoft during this process.
MandrakeSoft welcomes this latest news as a positive step to achieving solid financial restructuring which will make the company profitable.
In the continuation plan we're working on, MandrakeSoft's main objective is to reach profitability as soon as possible. When the continuation plan is approved, MandrakeSoft will leave the observation period.
As part of the Company's continuation plan, MandrakeSoft may initiate a small increase of capital in the upcoming weeks to help secure the scenario. Please contact us if you are in a position to participate.
Jacques Le Marois.
