Update on Uruguay Reorganization Process
As announced in December 2018, Loryser SA (�Loryser�), the Company�s primary Uruguayan subsidiary, reached an agreement to cease Loryser�s creditor protection process, with the majority of its creditors (�the Agreement�) with a final endorsement of approximately 72% of creditors by value.
Pursuant to the Uruguayan Reorganization Act, the Intervenor reviewed the legitimacy of the creditors� debt claims and prepared the final list of creditors. The Court and the Intervenor are in the last stages finalising the process and publishing the Agreement for ratification. Although the process has run its course without any significant incidents, it is progressing slower than expected due to the high number of national and international creditors involved; totalling approximately 200, of which some 30 filed a late claim. As a result of this and also the Uruguayan judiciary holidays in July, the Company now expects the ratification process to be extended well into the second half of calendar 2019. Once approved by the Court, the Agreement will be legally binding on all of Loryser�s creditors and Loryser�s creditor protection status will cease together with the Intervenor�s control over Loryser.
The big question to ask is when is the second half of calendar 2019????
