KordaMentha’s Mark Mentha says he will consider every option for restructuring steelmaker and iron ore miner Arrium. Mentha was appointed as administrator of Arrium after the Australian Workers’ Union, lenders and bondholders succeeded in removing Grant Thornton from the role. Mentha says Arrium’s collapse was primarily due to a decline in relations between the group’s board and its lenders. The first creditors’ meeting is scheduled for 19 April 2016.
