The extension of the maturity date is a related party transaction in respect of US$30 million of principal amount of convertible debentures held by Pallinghurst Investor Consortium (Lux) S.à r.l. ("LuxCo") and US$100 million of principal amount of convertible debentures held by Ridgewood Investments (Mauritius) Pte Ltd ("Ridgewood") (an indirect subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited), within the meaning of MI 61-101 in Canada but is exempted from the minority approval requirements by application of section 5.7 of that rule. Upon conversion, LuxCo will acquire a total of 35,714,286 common shares and will then have ownership, control or direction over 192,683,032 common shares of Platmin representing 21.2% of the then outstanding Platmin common shares. Ridgewood will acquire a total of 119,047,620 common shares and will then have ownership, control or direction over 160,199,883 common shares representing 17.6% of the then outstanding Platmin common shares. Each independent director of Platmin has approved the amendment and there has been no contrary view or abstention by any independent director.
The extension of the maturity date in respect of LuxCo also constitutes a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The independent directors of Platmin, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Investec Bank plc, consider that the related party transaction is fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of Platmin are concerned.
