We have successfully completed two of the four stages in this restructuring, the first being the amendment of the revolving credit facility which contemplates upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent, the extension of the revolving credit facility maturity date to 30 June 2024. We will now press ahead with the remaining stages involving zero coupon note holders and shareholders. The Board of Directors wishes to express their sincere appreciation to all parties for their support of the Scheme and the Company during the restructuring process."
