LionGold Corp: Over the weekend, it announced a restructuring of US$17 million of existing convertible bonds that were due last month. It also proposed a new issue of up to S$100 million principal amount of 2.5 per cent redeemable convertible bonds due 2018.

Foreland Fabrictech: Its executive chairman, Tsoi Kin Chit, has slashed his direct stake in the company to just 11.03 per cent, after selling a 29.5 per cent share for S$1 million in an off-market transaction. This works out to 0.62 of a Singapore cent per share.
