This complaint arises out of a derivative financial instrument (this amount is part of the $293 million dollars previously announced) and therefore the Company is analyzing alternatives.
Additionally, the Company informs that an accounts receivable credit facility with The Royal Bank of Scotland, which provides funds to one of Vitro’s subsidiaries, with a balance of approximately $19 million dollars, which was scheduled to end April, 2009, was concluded and we expect to finish the settlement process within the next three weeks.
Vitro is continuing its discussions with the counterparties of the derivative financial instruments (“Counterparties”), its bondholders and its creditors to achieve an organized financial restructuring to improve its balance sheet. There can be no assurance that the Company’s discussions with the Counterparties, its bondholders, and other creditors will be successful. Vitro will provide updates on these discussions, from time to time, as appropriate.
Vitro is committed to providing the quality products and services its broadly diversified customers need. Vitro intends to maintain its operations and continue its business relationships with its customers and suppliers as it seeks to achieve a restructuring of its indebtedness. Vitro, which is commemorating its first century in 2009, has a strong foundation in place with solid business operations, strong franchise and market positions and superior quality products.
