Court approval for Atlas debt restructure

Atlas Iron says the Federal Court has approved a debt to equity swap deal and that its debt restructuring can now go ahead.

Atlas Iron has received court approval to proceed with a debt restructuring that could save the struggling iron ore miner millions in interest payments.

The junior miner says the Federal Court has approved a debt to equity swap deal and that the company will lodge a copy of the orders with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission later on Friday.

Almost 98 per cent of Atlas shareholders voted in favour of the debt restructure, meaning the company can avoid being placed in administration.
