Proposed Battersea restructuring and suspension of interest on the Parent's
Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock
REO Securities Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Real Estate Opportunities
plc (the "Parent" or "REO").
Further to the statements in REO's annual report and accounts published on 23
June 2010 regarding the proposed demerger of the Battersea assets, REO and its
advisers have been engaged in ongoing financial restructuring negotiations with
the holders of REO's Series A and B unsecured loan notes, NAMA, Lloyds Banking
Group and an adhoc informal committee comprising the larger holders of the
Company's 7.5% convertible unsecured loan stock (CULS) and the zero dividend
preference shares (ZDP) issued by REO Securities Limited. Significant progress
has been made towards agreeing the shape of a consensual financial restructuring
with the informal adhoc committee that is now being discussed with REO's other
lenders. The committee, REO Directors and Treasury Holdings (which supports the
restructuring proposal) together account for some GBP59.4 million of convertible
loan stock representing 59 per cent of the total amount in issue and for some
32.9 million ZDPs representing 57 per cent of the total number of ZDPs in issue.
Taking account of the status of negotiations, the Company has determined that
the interest payment due to the CULS holders on 31 August 2010 will not be made.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
