company deregistered today

Strike-Off Action In Progress

delisted from the close of trading on Monday 28 August 2017 pursuant to Listing Rule 17.15.

we understand the company failed and was delisted because it did not pay its annual ASX listing fee

Under listing rule 17.6, any entity (if not already suspended) that had not paid its annual listing fees by close of business on Monday 21 August 2017 will have its securities suspended from official quotation before the commencement of trading on Tuesday 22 August 2017. The company has failed to pay to ASX Limited the annual listing fees in respect of the year ending 30 June 2018 and consequently will have its securities suspended from quotation immediately.

a loss declaration has been issued and the capital loss can therefore be claimed in the financial year the declaration is issued - in this case 2016/17

The administrators provide an update to shareholders. It is expected that there will be a material shortfall to the creditors of MCS and there is no expectation of a return to shareholders. The administrators have reasonable grounds to believe that there is no likelihood that shareholders of MCS will receive any distribution in the course of external administration of the McAleese Group of Companies. Depending on shareholders' individual tax circumstances, they may be able to rely on this declaration to claim a capital loss with respect to their shareholding in MCS. This should not be construed as constituting taxation advice. Shareholders should seek their own advice prior to relying on this declaration.

On Monday, 19 December 2016, the second meetings of creditors were held for the McAleese Group of Companies. At those meetings, creditors considered a series of related Deed of Company Arrangement ("DOCAs") proposals from the Secured Creditors against liquidation alternatives. At the meetings creditors resolved in favour of the related DOCAs. Yesterday, the related DOCAs were entered into by the McAleese Group of Companies. The related DOCAs will facilitate a fund contribution of $10 million from the secured creditors, which is expected to be received this week.

The company provides a company update - As previously reported, the Federal Court of Australia extended the convening period for the second meeting of creditors of MCS and subsidiaries be up to 28 March 2017. The Court also ordered that the second meetings for MCS and its subsidiaries may be held, together or separately, at any time during the convening period. Our current expectation is that the Administrators will convene the second meeting of creditors in December 2016 and the creditor meetings will be held concurrently for MCS and its subsidiaries. A summary of the four business units of the company was also provided.

The first meetings of creditors of McAleese and the subsidiaries over which the Administrators have been appointed has been convened for Thursday, 8 September 2016, at the RACV City Club, Level 17 Function Room, 501 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000.

The administrators refers to the general meeting of shareholders to be held on the 19th of September 2016. The purpose of the Meeting was to consider resolutions relating to a proposed recapitalisation of the Company. The proposed recapitalisation was subject to two conditions being satisfied or waived prior to the expiration of forbearance arrangements extended by the Company's financiers. As one of those conditions was not satisfied or waived and the financiers declined to enter into any new forbearance arrangements, the recapitalisation will no longer be implemented in the manner contemplated by the Notice. Accordingly, the Administrators consider that the Meeting is unnecessary and so cancel the Meeting.

The purpose of the EGM held today was to consider resolutions removing the current directors of MCS (other than Mr Gilberto Maggiolo) and replacing them with Mr Harold Keith Price and Mr Maurice Gregory Smith. As announced this morning, the directors of MCS have appointed administrators to the company. Whilst the company is in administration, the powers of the existing directors are suspended. Instead, the administrators exercise all of the powers and functions of the directors. At the meeting today Mr Keith Crawford acted as Chair of the Meeting. Mr Crawford determined to adjourn the meeting because he considered that the fact that administrators have been appointed is material information for members and that, as at today, members will not have sufficient information to determine how to vote at the meeting. The Meeting has been adjourned to a time and place to be announced to ASX at a later date.

The securities of McAleese Limited will be suspended from quotation immediately, following the release of an announcement by the Company regarding the appointment of voluntary administrators.

The Meeting yesterday was adjourned following the appointment of administrators to MCS because the Chair of the Meeting, Mr Crawford, considered that the appointment of administrators was material information for members and members would not have had sufficient information to determine how to vote at the Meeting. The administrators are currently considering when to hold the adjourned Meeting. Their intention is to hold the Meeting as soon as the outcome of the voluntary administration process is clearer. During the administration, the administrators exercise all of the powers of the existing directors, whose powers are suspended. The notice of yesterday's Meeting did not contemplate that administrators would be appointed to the company. Supplementary notice will be issued that will specify a new time and date for submissions of proxies.
