First payment received....2 Oct 2013 22:33
The first $200 million payment has already been banked, thank you very much...
After 30 June 2013, the liquidity of the Company improved as a result of bank loans of US$54 million(c. £33.7 million) in aggregate being repaid in July and August 2013. On 7 August 2013, the Company announced that it had issued the Loan Notes. On 12 August 2013, Fortune announced that China Gas Holdings had informed the Company that MOFCOM Approval had been received for the FGIH Transaction.
As a consequence, the first part of the consideration of US$170 million (c. £106.2 million) was received in late August 2013 improving the liquidity of the Company.
Following these events, the Company’s level of borrowings has dropped significantly from the peak at June 2013. The level of borrowings of the Company at the date of this document is principally the outstanding amount of the Morgan Stanley syndicated loan of US$108 million (c. £67.4 million) and the Loan Notes. Following receipt of consideration for the FGIH Transaction of US$170 million (c. £106.2 million) and at the date of this document, the Company is in net cash position with sufficient cash to settle all the outstanding borrowings.
