2010 restructuring

[edit]

In October 2010, Horse & Country TV was placed into administration by Chairman Heather Killen after she called in a £400,000 preferential loan on her own company, one day before a dismissal claim by former Managing Director Nick Ludlow was scheduled for court. Mr. Ludlow, who had been dismissed by Ms. Killen seven days after she completed a takeover of the television channel, alleged that his 47% ownership stake was diluted to 16% following a share issue in November 2009. This action compelled Mr. Ludlow to abandon his legal challenge and led to investors writing off £200,000 due to the company's collapse. Within months, Ms. Killen relaunched the company as H&C TV, which secured a global rights deal for highlights from the Badminton trials, thereby ending a 50-year exclusive coverage arrangement with the BBC.[1][2][3]
