30. BORROWINGS (<strong>continued</strong>)<br />
(A) Syndicated Term Loans (<strong>continued</strong>)<br />
(ii) Sale of certain property, plant and equipment of a subsidiary<br />
Megasteel agrees to dispose of certain of its subsidiary’s property, plant and equipment as follows:<br />
(a) Megasteel shall enter into a sale and purchase agreement with a bona fide purchaser for the<br />
sale of certain of its subsidiary’s property, plant and equipment no later than 30 June 2010 or<br />
such extended date (“Target Date”) as may be agreed with the Syndicated Term Loans Lenders<br />
whose loans represent more than 75% of the value of the RM Term Loans and USD Term Loans<br />
inclusive of principal, interests, commission, fees or expenses respectively as defined in the<br />
provisional Term Sheet;<br />
(b) <strong>The</strong> sale of the property, plant and equipment shall be subjected to the approvals of shareholders<br />
of the Company and other requisite approvals from relevant authorities;<br />
(c) Proceeds from the sale of the property, plant and equipment shall be received by 30 September<br />
2010. In the event the sale cannot be completed by 30 September 2010, Megasteel shall have<br />
the option to extend the completion date for a further 3 months (“Target Completion Date”);<br />
(d) Proceeds (net of transaction costs) from the sale of the property, plant and equipment shall be<br />
utilised to prepay or repay the Syndicated Term Loans due in chronological order of maturity;<br />
and<br />
(e) In the event Megasteel does not procure a sale of the property, plant and equipment by the<br />
Target Date or the sale is not completed by the Target Completion Date, then such event shall<br />
constitute an event of default.<br />
As at 30 June 2010, Megasteel has not entered into any sale and purchase agreement for the sale of<br />
the property, plant and equipment.<br />
Due to the weak market condition, the realisation of the planned disposal of the <strong>Group</strong>’s assets required<br />
by the Restructured Scheme of the Syndicated Term Loans is expected to be delayed. Nevertheless,<br />
the Directors are actively looking for potential buyers for the assets and they are of the opinion that<br />
potential buyers will be identified. In the event that the planned disposal is not completed by the<br />
stipulated time frame set by the Syndicated Term Loans Lenders, the Directors are of the opinion that<br />
they will be able to seek extension of time from the lenders of the Syndicated Term Loans.<br />
In the previous financial year, pending the approval of the Restructured Scheme, Megasteel was unable<br />
to meet its repayment obligations and was unable to fulfill certain financial covenants for the Syndicated<br />
Term Loans. Accordingly, the entire Syndicated Term Loans have been classified as current liabilities in the<br />
prior year.<br />
