In July 2022, Adgemis began talks to refinance his business due to challenges caused by COVID, including an impact on earnings and higher interest rates.

As revealed by this column, Adgemis commenced discussions for the refinancing in July 2022, as the business struggled from a COVID hit to earnings, and higher interest rates swelled it debt load while keeping the IPO market firmly shut.

At the time, these negotiations attracted various participants from the debt capital markets, including ex-Bank of Queensland CEO George Frazis.
