PA Resources AB: Letter to Convertible Bondholders and Information on Coming Events

Regulatory News:

In view of the resolution proposed by the Board of Directors of PA Resources (STO:PAR) on 7 November 2012, a letter has been sent to the convertible bondholders which stresses the importance that the transactions are carried out. At the same time, the Company hereby issues a reminder that a meeting for holders of the Swedish bond will be held on Friday, 30 November, in Stockholm.

Summary of the letter sent to convertible bondholders On 7 November 2012 the Board of Directors of PA Resources proposed a resolution to reduce the company’s high indebtedness and at the same time increase the company’s equity by approximately SEK 1,700 million. The Board proposes that this be carried out through two transactions.

1. All holders of PA Resources’ convertible bond 2008/2014 are recommended to convert their convertible bonds into new shares; this will substantially reduce the Company’s indebtedness while increasing the Company's equity.

2. Subject to conversion of 90% of the outstanding convertible bond amount to equity, a subsequent fully underwritten rights issue of approximately SEK 700 million will be carried out – which will provide additional liquidity to the Company. Approximately 50% of the fully underwritten rights issue will be directed to convertible bondholders who have converted their convertible bonds into shares and approximately 50% to the Company’s current shareholders.

It is important to note that neither the offer to convertible bondholders nor the rights issue will be carried out unless owners of at least 90% of all convertibles choose to convert their convertible bonds to new shares or if the extraordinary general meeting on 7 December does not approve the Board's proposed resolution as above. If the proposed transactions are not carried out, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company may be forced into a formal restructuring process or to file for bankruptcy, which in turn could lead to an outcome in which the convertible bondholders would lose all or part of their investment.

Information sent to the convertible bondholders is appended to this press release. For further information and notification to attend the extraordinary general meeting on 7 December, visit www.paresources.se.
