Premier today announces that the final Schuldschein loan holder has entered into the lock up agreement with respect to the terms of the proposed refinancing. As a result of this, the lock up agreements entered into by the Private Lenders (comprising the RCF, FLS Term Loan, US Private Placement notes and Schuldschein loans) and the convertible bondholders have now become effective, committing the parties who have locked up to vote in favour of the refinancing.
