The remaining units of CULS 2013 that have not yet been converted are now subject to the Trustee's discretionary conversion powers. The Trustee's conversion period will run until 28th May 2013 when the Trustee will then decide whether or not converting the CULS 2013 that remain in issue would be in the best interests of the holders.
