Proposals

Determination whether the company is to go into liquidation (first meeting for liquidation purposes) (item 7)

The board of directors has, pursuant to what is stated in the Swedish Companies Act, prepared a balance sheet for liquidation purposes, and it has been noted that the company’s equity is less than half of its registered share capital. The board of directors therefore refers to the general meeting the question of whether the company is to go into liquidation.

1. The reason why the company should go into liquidation is that the company’s equity is less than half of its registered share capital. The alternative to liquidation is to carry on the business with actions to restore the capital. Successful such actions are likely to be dependent upon a positive outcome of the ongoing discussions on refinancing with the company’s creditors – discussions which may result in for instance a new issue of shares.

2. The liquidation resolution would take effect from the day when the Swedish Companies Registration Office has appointed a liquidator.

3. A distribution of assets is preliminary estimated to take place during the first half of the year of 2016.

4. The amount of the distribution proceeds is preliminary estimated to SEK 0.

5. The board of directors does not propose any liquidator.

The company has been engaged since October 2014 in refinancing discussions with the company’s bondholders and the Gunvor Group as senior secured lender. The goal is to reduce the current debt level, which is considered to be unsustainable, increase the equity and provide cash to enable the company to move development of its key assets forward.

In October 2014 the company’s lenders agreed to defer interest payments to 5 February 2015 and the company will request a further extension of the interest deferral until 31 March 2015. The company anticipates that bondholders meetings will be held in mid-February 2015 to decide whether or not they will approve this further extension.

Provided that bondholders’ meetings in February approve the further extension it is the board of directors’ opinion that the shareholders should allow the company time to finalize the on-going refinancing discussions.

The board of directors will monitor the situation closely up until the day of the extraordinary general meeting to determine if any events occur that give the board of directors cause to change its recommendation.

Based on this, the board of directors is of the opinion that there are reasons for the company to carry on its business, and therefore proposes that the shareholders vote against the proposal on liquidation resulting in the company not being liquidated, but that the business is carried on. The Swedish Companies Act stipulates however that under such conditions a new general meeting of shareholders must be held within eight months to reconsider the issue on liquidation. The company’s board of directors must prepare a new balance sheet for liquidation purposes which must be reviewed by the company’s auditor. If such balance sheet for liquidation purposes does not show that the equity has been restored and at least amounts to the registered share capital, the company must go into liquidation.

Documents etc.

The board of directors’ complete proposal and other documents as stipulated in the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the company (see address above) as well as on the company’s website www.paresources.se no later than three weeks before the meeting including the day of the meeting. Copies of the said documentation will be sent immediately, and at no cost to the recipient, to shareholders who so request and state their postal address.

The shareholders are reminded of their right to request information from the board of directors and the managing director under Chapter 7 section 32 the Swedish Companies Act.

The number of outstanding shares and votes in the company at the time of this notice totals 113 167 992.
