On 7 April 2014, Punch announced that the Punch A and Punch B securitisations had given notice convening noteholder meetings for the purposes of voting on covenant waiver requests.
On 30 April 2014, Punch announced that the waiver requests had been approved by eleven of the sixteen meetings held. No quorum was present at the five remaining meetings, which were accordingly adjourned until today.
At the meetings held today, noteholders voted in favour of the waiver requests. All other securitisation creditors have also consented to the waiver requests.
The covenant waivers will expire at the latest on 29 August 2014, and it is a condition of the waivers that a restructuring is launched by 30 June 2014.
