Peak was granted a waiver to Listing Rule 10.1 from the ASX in May 2014. Peak has sought a further waiver, which has been granted subject to the following conditions:

Repayment Plans

Peak’s debt to Octanex may be able to be satisfied, repaid or otherwise discharged over the remaining 16 month period including by way of, but not limited to, proceeds of sale of assets and/or future capital raisings by Peak

Repayment of the Loan Facility would release Peak’s assets from the Charge.
