Rules of the game: https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/co...pite-olivia-lums-sweetener-to-small-investors
At a scheme meeting on April 5, creditors will be split into respective classes to vote on the deal. Whether Hyflux gets restructured or liquidated will boil down to how two classes of creditors vote.
Perp and pref holders will vote as one class. Holders of unsecured claims - comprising bond holders, unsecured banks and contingent creditors - will vote as a separate class.The scheme needs to be approved by at least 75 per cent in value and 50 per cent in number of each creditor class.
If this condition is not met, Hyflux can still proceed with the restructuring,
so long as a majority in number of creditors representing 75 per cent in value of claims voted "yes".
Senior Unsecured Creditors (SUC) - Banks, Contingency Creditors, Notesholders
Junior Unsecured Creditors (JUC) - Perpetuals and Preference Shareholders
(Interesting that Perpetuals and Preference Shareholders are grouped together as a class because Hyflux already triggered a technical default in perpetuals which gives more seniority to their claims).
Ok, let's play according to their rules, here's the maths,
Assuming SUC supports the restructuring, and JUC objects, so we need a majority in number of creditors representing 75 per cent in value of claims voted "yes"."
If $600-700m of senior unsecured creditors turned up and voted "YES" and just $100-150m of JUC turned up to vote "No", does it mean that the 75% threshold is crossed? By adding contingency creditors, it diluted the JUC so much that whatever JUC votes is not important?
So all retail investors must turn up and vote NO and EGM a special resolution to sack Olivia and Angela ok?
