Speirs Group Limited, via its wholly owned subsidiary Speirs Investments
Limited, holds 2 million perpetual bonds issued by Allied Nationwide Finance
Limited (ANFL), and has an option to 'put' those bonds to Allied Farmers
Limited on or about 30 September 2013 at a price of $1 per bond, plus any
accrued or unpaid interest.
Given today's receivership announcement by ANFL, the directors of Speirs
Group Limited advise that, as part of the audit programme currently being
completed for the year ended 30 June 2010, they will be considering any group
impairment provisioning of the investment in ANFL bonds that may be
necessary.
