7 April 2016
Arrium Limited (ASX: ARI) (Arrium or the Company) today announces that Voluntary Administrators have been appointed to oversee the affairs of the Company and of those companies listed in the attached Schedule (together, the Relevant Companies).
Said Jahani, Paul Andrew Billingham, Michael Gerard McCann and Matthew James Byrnes each of Grant Thornton have been appointed to act as Voluntary Administrators for each of the Relevant Companies.
As previously announced, Arrium has been in discussions with its lenders (banks and noteholders) following the lenders' rejection of the recapitalisation plan for Arrium involving GSO Capital Partners LP (on behalf of funds managed by it and its affiliates) that was announced on 22 February 2016.
These discussions have now ceased. After considering the available alternatives, in the current circumstances it has become clear to the board of Arrium that it has, unfortunately, been left with no option other than to place the Relevant Companies into voluntary administration in order to protect the interests of stakeholders.
