Notes below on the first bonds to mature. In 2022. Now, personally, I can not see any reason why we would even need to consider the convertibles, as they are not maturing till 2024 and they would not ( in my opinion ) be willing to negotiate, why would they. But we need to be looking at a plan for the bonds below as we will not have the capital to repay all of them.
Options borrow money from institution, we originally were with a bank, but terms were too restrictive.
Have a new bond issue for the whole $500m ( I think we should have some capital to repay some by 2022.
Have a bond issue for a lower amount and repay some.
Or have a rights issue to raise the capital to wholly repay those bonds. Company would need to be starting to look at ALL of their options.
