Update on Shareholder Matters
Sydney, Mar 4, 2019 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Donaco International Limited (
ASX:DNA) notes that Vincent Pirina and Mitchell Mansfield have been appointed as joint and several receivers of approximately 224 million shares in the Company. The shares were formerly controlled by the Lim family. The appointment of receivers was made by Madison Pacific Trust Limited, as security trustee for OL Master (Singapore Fund 1) Pte. Limited, pursuant to certain financing agreements with entities controlled by Mr. Joey Lim.
The appointment of receivers over these shares has no impact on the management or operations of the Company. The Board has agreed that Mr Ben Lim will remain as Interim MD and CEO until the end of March 2019.
The appointment of receivers may have an impact on the Company's loan agreement with Mega Bank. It is possible that Mega Bank may regard this as a "change of control" under the terms of the loan agreement. If so, the loan may become due and payable sooner than the currently scheduled repayment dates. The Company will discuss this issue with Mega Bank, and keep the market informed of all developments.
