One of the creditor agreements is a stable platform agreement with a subset of creditors representing 40% of its debt facilities to waive Premier's financial covenants and provide continued facility access. Once terms are agreed, Premier will seek formal support from its wider lending group for the agreement.
In addition, Premier has reached an agreement with Asia Research Capital Management for the creditor to withdraw its appeal of the court's judgement approving the scheme required for the facilities extension and the BP asset purchase.
