Statement on ISG

The collapse of ISG has had no impact whatsoever on our plans to build the HVDC subsea cable factory in Hunterston, Scotland. 

XLCC did have a small pre-construction service agreement with ISG, but that came to an end in April this year. In terms of the main construction contracts, these have not yet been tendered, but we plan to do so shortly.
