A profit-share agreement will be put in place for the ringfenced business until agreed funding is repaid by Octopus. Under this structure, payments to shareholders or the wider Octopus group from the ringfenced entity would be restricted until the repayable funding to Government is complete.
The details of the profit share agreement are commercially sensitive and will not be published.
