(ShareCast News) - Reach4Entertainment Enterprises has proposed amendments to restructure its existing £14.8m loan facility with AIB Group.Under the terms of the amendment, the Irish lender will no longer convert £5.2m of the outstanding principal debt due under the existing facility into new ordinary shares in the company or receive a European put option over the shares.Reach4Entertainment said that instead, AIB will be given warrants over the same value of the shares exercisable only once the closing mid-market price of an ordinary share reaches 5p.All other terms of the agreement as announced on 10 June remain the same, the company added.The media and marketing group also said on Friday that it expects turnover for the year ended 31 December to be in line with market expectations.
