Weatherly International plc
("Weatherly" or "the Company")
Rescheduling of repayment
Weatherly has previously advised that if copper prices remain at
current levels it is unlikely that the Company and its subsidiaries
(the "Group") will generate sufficient surplus cash to meet all
loan repayments when due.
The first rescheduled instalment of Tranche B of the facility
between Orion Mine Finance (Master) Fund I LP ("Orion") and the
Group was due today, 31(st) May 2016. Following discussions between
the Company and Orion, which is also the Company's largest
shareholder, Orion and the Company have agreed in principle to
defer the payment of this instalment. Finalisation of definitive
documentation for these arrangements is underway and is expected to
be concluded within a short period.
Further announcements on these arrangements will be made in due
course.
