In July 2011 the Company issued 49,834 preference shares in
exchange for 31,074,302 shares in Marfin Investment Group ("MIG").
MIG shares acquired were valued based on the closing price on the
Athens Stock Exchange as of 14 July 2011. This transaction
increased the Company's equity by EUR15,847,894.
Following this issue, the Company had 137,315,633 common shares
and 49,834 preference shares outstanding.
Subsequent Events
Through January 2012, certain shareholders had provided loans
amounting to $3.8 million. The maturity dates of the loans are
March 2015. In April 2012, the Company agreed with the lending
banks to restructure its existing loan agreement and obtained
appropriate waivers regarding non-compliance with the Total Assets
to Total Liabilities financial covenant through March 2013. In
general, the Company will not pay any interest on its loan from
April 2012 through March 2013. All such accrued and unpaid interest
will be capitalized. The interest margin would increase to 3% per
annum through this period. The maturity date of the loan remains
unchanged.
