The Company has started preparations for the conversion issue in accordance with the restructuring programme
Talvivaara Mining Company Plc ("Company" or "Talvivaara") announces that today it has received a statement from the Administrator of its corporate reorganization proceedings in which the Administrator gives his view on the status of the fulfillment of the special conditions in the corporate restructuring programme. As part of fulfilling the special conditions of the restructuring programme the Company has started preparations for the conversion issue as set out in the restructuring programme.
The Administrator filed the final draft restructuring programme with the District Court of Espoo on 10 April 2015. The confirmation and entry into force of the draft restructuring programme requires the fulfilment of all of the following special conditions:
In addition to the above mentioned special conditions, the confirmation of the programme also requires that other requirements set forth in law are fulfilled and that no obstacles for the entry into force of the programme provided for in the Restructuring of Enterprises Act are at hand. The Administrator shall oversee the fulfillment of the special conditions set for the restructuring programme and once the conditions have been fulfilled inform the District Court therof. The District Court will decide on the approval of the final restructuring programme.
Today the Administrator has stated that special conditions (b)(2) and (c) of the restructuring programme are currently still to be fulfilled. In addition, according to the Administrator, the fulfilment of all the special conditions and purpose of the Restructuring Act will require that the Company's new business opportunities are sufficiently developed so as to provide more tangible prospects for future viable business operations.
As part of the fulfillment of the special condition of the restructuring programme (special condition (c)) the Company has started preparations for the share issue, whereby the holders of unsecured restructuring debts as defined in the restructuring programme would be offered an opportunity to convert the full amount of their unsecured restructuring debt into shares of the Company ("Conversion Issue"). According to the restructuring programme, the conversion rate of the Conversion Issue shall be EUR 0.1144 per share. The Company continues the preparations and will update the market in due course with regard to the progress of the Conversion Issue.
During the current year, the Company has explored a number of new business ideas and projects, which, if materialized, could create the Company's new core business or part thereof. The Company continues to investigate and develop selected projects. The new business opportunities currently being explored are not limited to the mining industry, but also include amongst others projects from the recycling and energy saving sectors. At this point it is too early for the Company to take a view on the details of the projects or their likelihood to be successfully realised. The Company will update the market in due course, should the viability of one or more of the projects ultimately be demonstrated.
