The reorganising of HCC's debt via a lender resolution plan is in the final documentation phase with 100 per cent of lender board approvals in place, it added.

"HCC shareholders' approval was received at the EGM on March 23, 2022. The Plan is expected to achieve final closure shortly.

"Once completed, HCC's asset-liability mismatch will stand addressed, besides achieving a material de-leveraging, with the focus of the company shifting to securing new orders for growth," it said.
