Paladin Energy’s proposed debt restructuring is in doubt after an independent expert ruled that the embattled uranium miner must repay Electricite de France around $US277m within 30 days. The France-based energy utility is a major buyer of uranium from Paladin, and its support is crucial to the Australian-listed group’s deal to restructure its debt. Matthew Keane of Argonaut Securities says Paladin could face insolvency unless it can secure a standstill agreement. Paladin’s debt totalled $US665m at the end of the March 2017 quarter.
