Love Hemp Group PLC (AQSE:LIFE, OTCQB:WRHLF) said it has agreed a £1.5mln secured loan with a group of shareholders to eliminate a debt to its invoice discount lender that led to strong sales in the first quarter slowing in the second.
Following the completion of the loan, chairman Graham Mullis and interim chief financial officer Anthony Dyer have given notice of their resignation, staying on until replacements are appointed, while non-executive director Andrew Male has resigned with immediate effect.
