Bangkok, 7 November 2018 – The SEC has extended the deadline for Energy Earth Public Company Limited (EARTH) to give clarification on the existence of the mining rights of two coal mines in Indonesia by November 2018, and to deliver the report on the results of the review of the fair value of the mining rights of the same coal mines by December 2018 following the original deadline of 9 October 2018 , and to disclose the information thereof via the information disclosure system of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).
Reference
is made to the fact that the SEC had instructed EARTH to clarify the
information relating to the existence and the fair value of the mining rights
of the two coal mines in Indonesia and to disclose the information thereof via
the information disclosure system of SET within 60 days from the
date on which the Central Bankruptcy Court issued an order for the Planner to
perform the valuation of the coal mines, which is 9 October 2018.
However, EY Corporate
Advisory Services Ltd., as the Planner of EARTH’s business rehabilitation plan,
submitted a letter to the SEC requesting an extension for clarification and
submission of information relating to the existence of the mining rights of the
coal mines by November 2018, and the
report on the results of the review of the fair value of the mining rights of
the same coal mines to be by December 2018. An extension
from the specified original deadline is due to the actual expenses incurred are
far greater than the net total expense limit approved by the Court. As a result, the Planner was required to
solve various problems and negotiate with advisors in order for them to
continue their services whereby the Planner has currently been able to reach an
agreement with the advisors.
After
consideration, the SEC, therefore, extended the deadline for EARTH to clarify
the information relating to the existence of the mining rights of two coal
mines in Indonesia to be by November 2018; to submit the
report on the results of the review of the fair value of the mining rights of
the same coal mines to be by December 2018; and to
disclose the information thereof via the information disclosure system of SET within the specified period.
