NEW DEFAULT
DescriptionPERWAJA HOLDINGS BERHAD (“PHB” or “the Company”)
DEFAULT IN PAYMENT PURSUANT TO PRACTICE NOTE 1 OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company wishes to announce that its major subsidiary company, Perwaja Steel Sdn Bhd (“PSSB”) will not be able to pay the coupon payment of RM9.8 million for its RM280.0 million nominal value of 7% Redeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock (“RCULS”) which will fall due on 26 March 2014.

However, PSSB has finalised the settlement agreement with Petroliam Nasional Berhad and Tenaga Nasional Berhad, being the two essential creditors of PSSB on 10 February 2014 and 18 February 2014 respectively. As such, PSSB will be able to resume its business operations with resumption of gas and electricity supply to its plant in Kemaman, Terengganu. Please refer to the Company’s announcement on 13 February 2014 and 19 February 2014 for details of the above settlement.

Further, PSSB together with its advisor are currently working towards finalising the debt restructuring scheme to restructure its financial position and total indebtedness.

Reasons for the default

Inability to generate cashflow due to temporary cessation of business operations as a result of non-payment to utility providers, which in turn was caused by the slowdown of steel industry and decline in steel prices.

Measures by the Company to address the default

PSSB has been in discussion with relevant parties to negotiate and explore various options to regularise its financial position and total indebtedness.

Legal implications of the default including the extent of the listed issuer’s liability in respect of the obligations incurred under the agreements for the indebtedness

PSSB has now been granted an order pursuant to Section 176(1) and Section 176(10) of the Act by the High Court on 29 October 2013 and further extension on 27 January 2014 to restrain all further proceedings, or the taking of any proceeding or action brought by any party including the scheme creditor(s) for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from 27 January 2014. The abovementioned Order was applied for in order to facilitate PSSB to convene a meeting with its creditors pursuant to Section 176(1) of the Act for the purpose of considering and if thought fit, to approve with or without any alteration or modification, a proposed scheme of arrangement and compromise for PSSB.

Business, financial and operational impact of the default on the Company

PSSB is currently working out a restructuring scheme, and has been engaging both its financial lenders and major creditors in this exercise. An adviser has also been appointed. Pending PSSB being restructured successfully or a fresh injection of fund is forthcoming :

a) The existing banking facilities are frozen; and

b) Both the Steel Melt Shop ("SMS") and Direct Reduced Iron Plant ("DRI") have ceased operations.

It is therefore expected that the PHB Group will incur further losses until the conclusion of its restructuring scheme.

In the event the default is in respect of secured loan stocks or bonds, the lines of action available to the guarantors or security holders against the listed issuer

Not applicable.

In the event the default is in respect of payments under a debenture, to specify whether the default will empower the debenture holder to appoint a receiver or receiver and manager

Not applicable.

Where the default is in respect of a subsidiary or associated company, a confirmation as to whether the subsidiary or associated company is a major subsidiary or major associated company, as the case may be

PSSB is a major subsidiary of the Company.

Where the Default is in respect of a listed issuer, major subsidiary or major associated company, as the case may be -

(i) a statement as to whether the listed issuer is solvent ("Solvency Declaration"). For this purpose, a listed issuer is regarded as "solvent" if the majority directors have formed the opinion that the listed issuer will be able to pay all its debts as and when they fall due within the period of 12 months from the date of the announcement; and

(ii) if the listed issuer is solvent, a statement that the listed issuer undertakes to provide to the Exchange, the Solvency Declaration duly executed by its board of directors within 3 market days from the announcement date

Currently, PSSB is in negotiation for a restructuring exercise with its lenders and creditors to negotiate the necessary steps to improve the Group’s cash position with the indulgence and support from the lenders and creditors.

The solvency of the Group is dependent upon the acceptance and successful completion of the restructuring exercise by the Group. At this point in time, the Board of PHB is seeking indulgence from all its creditors and is therefore unable to provide Bursa Securities the required Solvency Declaration Statement due to the on-going exercise being carried out.

This announcement is dated 3 March 2014.
