Wastech
Exponential Co., Ltd. (WTX) (formerly Suntech Recycle & Decarbon Co.,
Ltd.), the issuer of STRD24DA bond, will electronically convene the
Bondholders’ Meeting No. 2/2025 on 9 July 2025 at 14.00 hours. The matters for
consideration are as follows:
(1) Granting an exemption from an event
of default under the terms and conditions for the company’s failure to pay bond
interest due on 10 March 2025 (later paid in full on 30 May 2025) and the bond interest
due for the June 2025 period, and considering approval for the cancellation of accelerated
maturity calling for immediate due and payable of the bond as well as the
cancellation of related actions taken by the bondholders’ representative in
connection with such event of default;
(2) Granting an exemption from
an event of default under the terms and conditions for the bond issuer’s entry
into negotiations with financial institutions or other creditors to seek debt
restructuring, including any deferral or modification of debt repayment
schedules;
(3) Requesting to revise the
partial principal repayment, from the original 25 percent of the bond value as
of the issuance date to 10 percent of the bond value as of the issuance date,
to be repaid on 30 June 2026, with the entire remaining principal to be repaid
on the maturity date;
(4) Extending the redemption maturity
period from the original due date of 9 December 2026 to 30 June 2027;
(5) Requesting to revise the
interest payment dates, from payment on 9 March, 9 June, 9 September, and 9
December throughout the bond term to payment on 30 March, 30 June, 30
September, and 30 December throughout the bond term;
(6) Increasing the bond interest rate
from 7.75 percent per year to 7.80 percent per year, effective from 9 March
2025 until the maturity date, and providing for partial interest payments at a
rate of 5.00 percent per year, with the remaining interest at a rate of 2.80
percent per year to be deferred from 9 March 2025 until 30 June 2027, and the deferred
interest to be aggregated and paid on the maturity date or on any early
redemption date (as the case may be);
(7) Providing additional security for
the bond obligations, whereby Mr. Supamongkol Manoch agrees to act as a
guarantor to provide additional security for the repayment of the bond.
In
this regard, the bondholders’ meeting has stipulated conditions for voting on
Agenda Items 4–7, as these agenda items are interrelated and must be considered
and approved together. Accordingly, if the bondholders’ meeting resolves not to
approve Agenda Item 4, the company will not propose Agenda Items 5–7 for the bondholders’
meeting’s consideration.
The SEC requires that the bondholders’ representative analyzes the benefits and
shortcomings as well as the potential impacts on the bondholders both in cases
of approval and decline of approval for the above matters with respective
supporting reasons and the opinions of the bondholders’ representative. The
bondholders are, therefore, encouraged to thoroughly review the information and
exercise their rights to protect their own interests. They should also make
necessary inquiries to the bondholders’ representative to obtain comprehensive
information before making a voting decision at the bondholders’ meeting.
Note:
Daol Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited serves as the bondholders’
representative for STRD24DA bond, to be due on 9 December 2026.
