<p>Greybull Capital is not itself a shareholder in Monarch Airlines but it does perform
an advisory and management role for the principal shareholder, Petrol Jersey Limited.
There is no formal legal mechanism we can use to oblige Greybull to contribute towards
the cost of repatriating passengers.</p><p> </p><p>However, Marc Meyohas, partner
at Greybull, wrote to the Transport Select Committee acknowledging a moral obligation
(if they make a profit) to contribute and help to defray the costs incurred by the
Government in repatriating Monarch customers.</p><p> </p><p>The extent of any profit
or loss from Greybull Capital and Petrol Jersey Limited’s investment in Monarch Airlines
will depend on the outcome of the administration process, which is not due to conclude
until October 2020. Until then, we will not be able to confirm the final total that
the Department has recouped.</p><p> </p><p>Discussions with Greybull in relation to
recovering the costs of the repatriation operation have been in writing. Ministers
last wrote to Greybull on this matter on 5 December 2018.</p><p> </p>
