UPDATE ON COMPREHENSIVE REFINANCING PROPOSALS

Yesterday morning, Yell announced it had extended the deadline for its lenders to respond to its comprehensive refinancing proposals to 5pm on Thursday 29 October.

Yell has made significant progress over the last 24 hours and is now awaiting acceptances from the final two lenders, both of which are necessary to cross the 95% threshold. In addition, Yell will require confirmation of the final count from HSBC as Facility Agent, following final verification and reconciliation of the acceptances.

Yell will make a further announcement as soon as possible.
