  • Tightened lending criteria over the last six months has led to reduced lending and will impact revenue and profitability in FY23.
  • Working with key stakeholders to pursue a potential Scheme of Arrangement to provide a more equitable outcome for our customers.
  • Pausing of processing of all new unaffordable lending claims effective from 11 August.
  • Reshaping the HCC business to draw a line under redress complaints - creating a product blueprint to serve our customers and address a market which will continue to grow in the current economic climate.
  • Working with funders, who remain supportive, to secure funding in line with the future operating model of the business.

Potential Scheme of Arrangement

Potential Scheme of Arrangement

What is a Scheme of Arrangement?

  • A Scheme of Arrangement is a Court-approved arrangement to identify 'special' creditors - in our case customers and to deal with redress claims.
  • Subject to a majority vote from customers.
  • Defined eligibility and period of time in which to make a claim.
  • Formal communication to eligible customers using a practice statement letter.
  • Subject to approval - Morses Club is working with external advisors to ensure that the detail of any Scheme complies with regulatory guidance.

Benefits of a potential Scheme

  • Provides the most equitable outcome for customers.
  • Ensures that the Company can move on, continuing to trade, without the uncertainty of continued redress claims.
  • Preserves the value of the trading business - deals with the cost of complaints and removes the risk of ongoing liabilities.
  • As part of any consideration for a potential Scheme, and redress liabilities, the Company has taken a provision in its FY22 accounts accordingly
