Continuing the Transformation
PacficNet has settled all of the pending litigation against the company and has
agreed to some very specific terms related to paying back some of the company’s
bondholders over the next year. PacificNet is positioned within the Asian online
casino and mobile gambling industry and has encountered some serious financial
problems in recent months with the company’s bondholders in the United States.
PacificNet sought bankruptcy in Delaware as a way to stay afloat despite the
debentures to the bondholders. Fortunately for all parties involved PacificNet
and the bondholders have come to an agreement on terms of remaining debentures.
The specifics of the plan call for a reasonable but efficient timeline for
repayment of some nearly $6.2 million of convertible debentures. Solving the
problem was in everyone’s best interests and the plan as it is now will allow
PacificNet to be back in the Asian online casino technology development industry
in no time. The Asian online and mobile gambling industries are at the ground
floor of development and PacificNet is perfectly positioned to provide cutting
edge technology for the market now that the threat of bankruptcy has been
avoided.
The repayment processes have been decided and now the online casino and mobile
technology provider enters the repayment period of the process. The timeline
calls for PacificNet to begin paying, in cash or common shares, the first
portion of the $6.2 million by December 15, 2008. If the process is going as
planned the bondholders and PacificNet will drop all litigation and bankruptcy
requests. The CEO of the company was optimistic about the coming months and made
sure to state that the “turbulent market” has had an effect on PacificNet, yet
the company does plan to go forward with technology developments and strategies
for the Asian online and mobile gaming markets. |
