On 25 June 2010 Allied Farmers announced in a release to the NZX that its
term debt facilities expire on 01 July 2010 and negotiation is continuing
with Westpac and one other lender proposing to offer funding under a shared
security arrangement.
In addition, Allied Farmers and Westpac have also been considering a number
of debt retirement and restructuring initiatives that would have a positive
impact for the company.
As this process is taking longer than expected Westpac has agreed to extend
the terms of the existing banking facility to 24 September 2010, subject to a
range of terms and conditions, to allow sufficient time to conclude the
initiatives being developed.
