Australian-listed Paladin Energy will seek a restructuring or recapitalisation after appointing administrators from KPMG. The move follows Paladin’s failure to secure a deal with Electricite de France to extend the deadline to repay $US200m plus interest of $US77m, which fell due on 10 July. The prepayment related to a long-term uranium supply contract, and the French utility rejected a proposed standstill agreement which would have given the debt-laden Paladin more time to pay.
