Administrators at BrewDog have confirmed that creditors owed approximately £190 million will not receive full compensation following the British brewery company's collapse into insolvency earlier this year 1. The announcement came after US-based Tilray purchased BrewDog's brand, intellectual property, and select assets for £33 million in March, though the deal excluded most of the company's pub estate 1.
The sale resulted in the closure of 38 BrewDog pubs and the loss of 440 jobs 1. The acquisition left 200,000 "equity punks" crowdfunded investors with worthless investments 1. Meanwhile, unpaid staff wages and holiday pay totalling £489,000 have been recovered through the government's redundancy compensation scheme 1. The UK tax authority HMRC is owed £2.4 million that cannot be paid in full, though a separate £3.6 million tax debt will be settled 1. HSBC is expected to recover approximately £42 million of the £61 million it is owed 1.
Private equity investor TSG, which acquired a 22 percent stake for £213 million in 2017, has lost its entire investment and will not recover nearly £28 million in debt 1. BrewDog was founded in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie 1. Watt has faced criticism over marketing controversies and allegations of a "toxic workplace culture," for which he has apologized 1.
