The company said its exposure to SVB UK was immaterial to the group’s liquidity. As at 10 March, cash deposits with SVB accounted for less than 3% of its cash on hand, equivalent to less than £1m, it said.
It noted that SVB also provided £50m of its £900m total debt facilities. Of this £50m, around 48% is currently drawn.
"The group backed by a strong banking syndicate, has access to significant levels of liquidity," Future said.
As at 10 March, it had access to £26m cash on hand and £438m of undrawn committed facilities excluding SVB's undrawn hold.
