Singapore

TROUBLED commodities trader Noble Group is forgoing its convertible notes in debt-ridden Australian miner Sundance Resources in exchange for cash, new shares and options worth A$27.6 million (S$27.3 million).

This includes A$11.9 million in cash, which Noble Group said "will be used for general corporate purposes", as well as 475.8 million new shares, or a 1.5 per cent interest, and 2.38 billion options, which, if exercised, represent as much as another 9.7 per cent of Sundance.
