hbos expected to block oz minerals refinancing, page-11

'Basis Point, a Thomson Reuters news service, has reported that lenders Australia & New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ.AX), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX), BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), nabCapital (NAB.AX), Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) and Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AX) have already agreed to a refinancing.

But HBOS is reluctant to give Oz Minerals more time, the Australian said, adding that its refusal to give the miner another lifeline could trigger a forced sale of assets.'

If true, amazing that we are hostage to one bit player....
