6 December 2007 Daily Mail and General Trust plc (`DMGT') Bond Covenant Amendments
DMGT today announces its plans to amend the terms and conditions of its ‚£165 million 10% Bonds due April 2021 (the "2021 Bonds") in line with the terms and conditions of its more recently issued ‚£200 million 6.375% Bonds due June 2027. DMGT believe the planned amendments deliver benefits to both DMGT's shareholders and bondholders. Bondholders representing 93% of the issue have been consulted under the auspices of the Association of British Insurers and agreed to support the amendments.
It is intended for the amendments to be executed via written resolution copies of which will be made available to bondholders through the clearing systems. Bondholders who wish to consent to the proposals should do so through the clearing systems by no later than 5 pm (London time) on 20 December 2007. Holders of the 2021 Bonds not represented by the ABI Special Committee are encouraged to contact RBS or the Trustee for further details.
