As mentioned in the Annual Report, a debt restructuring proposal and a debt conversion proposal was made to all other lenders and debenture note holders of GPCL Group whereby GPCL Group proposed to assign its entitlements to the receivable from owner of the land at the Bellambi West Colliery Site (including the loan, interest receivable and the guarantee fee receivable) and to issue ordinary shares to convert some of the debts owing to a lender. These proposals will not be discussed in this AGM. Instead, it will be discussed in an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled to be held after this AGM at 3:00pm.
