    of amending the terms and conditions of the Bonds (the "Terms and

For the Subsequent Bond Issue to be allowed under the Terms and Conditions, the Company is proposing the following adjustments to the Terms and Conditions:

    from 2.50:1 to 3.00:1

combined with the voting undertakings, brings the support obtained from bondholders to over 60% of the total bond volume.
