The loan underscores a growing divergence between public equity markets (hammered by AI hype fatigue) and private credit markets, where capital is still flowing for established, cash-flow-positive firms.

The £20M fine is small, but the reputational damage and precedent are significant for regulated entities.

British Gas pays £20 million to settle a probe into the force-fitting of prepayment meters, where debt agents broke into vulnerable customers' homes.
