Talvivaara's Corporate Reorganisation
The District Court has granted an extension to the deadlines for submitting
proposals for the reorganisation programmes
The District Court of Espoo has granted an extension to the deadlines for
submitting the proposals for the respective reorganisation programmes of
Talvivaara Mining Company Plc ("Talvivaara" or the "Company") and its operating
subsidiary, Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd, until 30 September 2014 as applied by the
court appointed corporate reorganisation Administrator. According to the prior
District Court ruling, the proposals for the reorganisation programmes were to
be submitted by 28 May 2014.
The Administrator and Talvivaara are engaged in discussions with potential
financing and industrial partners for a long-term financing solution for the
Talvivaara Group. Certain industrial and financial arrangements for the
continuation of operations of the Company and Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd have
already been reached so that the restructuring programmes can be set up. The
extension was applied for as submission of the restructuring programme proposals
is not considered feasible until sufficient long-term financing has been
secured.
