The Standstill Agreements came into effect on June 1, 2022 and originally were to terminate on August 30, 2022, subject to an extension option. As disclosed in the Company’s press release dated August 31, 2022, the parties exercised the extension option and extended the termination date of the Standstill Agreements to September 13, 2022. The parties have now agreed to further extend the termination date for the Standstill Agreements to September 20, 2022. The Company is approaching the final stage of negotiations on terms of the long-term restructuring of the Bonds with a number of bondholders and expects to reach an agreement within the current financial year.
