On 19 August, InfraStrata announced that it had repaid a loan from the AIM-traded Baron and had amended the option which accompanied the loan from Baron, so that Baron had an option to acquire a 15% interest in IMSL for a payment of £1.54m until 31 March.

“Exercise of the option in full is conditional on InfraStrata having the requisite authorities under the Companies Act 2006 to issue new ordinary shares in the company, which will be sought at the company's next general meeting of shareholders.”
