ALBIDON LIMITED (SUBJECT TO DEED OF COMPANY ARRANGEMENT)
ARBN 107 288 755
Shareholder Update
Further to our announcement dated 7 July 2009, we provide the following update on the status
of the transaction to restructure and recapitalise the company.
Since our previous shareholder update, we have experienced unforeseen delays in meeting
certain conditions of settlement under the Deed of Company Arrangement (“DOCA”), which
were outside the control of the Deed Administrators. These delays were primarily attributable to
finalising an agreement with Barclays Bank Zambia Plc on the repayment terms under an
equipment finance facility, along with finalising the documentation associated with the transfer
of the secured debt facilities to Jinchuan Group Limited (“Jinchuan”), and the secured
convertible note facility.
The Barclays Bank Zambia agreement has now been executed. The Jinchuan facility agreement
and convertible note deed are expected to be executed in the coming days, and at this stage, we
anticipate issuing a notice of shareholders’ meeting within 1-2 weeks, with the meeting to be
held in the second half of October 2009. Settlement under the DOCA is to occur within two (2)
business days of shareholder approval (if obtained).
Upon settlement under the DOCA, control of the company will revert to its board of directors,
who will be responsible for attending to all matters necessary for the shares in the company to
be re-quoted on the ASX and AIM.
Shareholders are asked to continue to monitor market announcements for further information.
