Aurora Funds Management Limited (“Aurora”) provides the following update in respect of the Aurora Fortitude Absolute Return Fund (the “Fund”).
Antares Convertible Note Update
As at 30 June 2016, the Fund held investments in Antares Energy Limited Convertible Notes (ASX: AZZG), which had been suspended from trading on the Australian Stock Exchange on 15 September 2015 and remain suspended as at the date of this update.
In February 2016, Aurora made the decision to freeze applications and redemptions in the Fund, on the basis that it could not accurately determine a value for the AZZG Notes.
For the purposes of the June 2016 year-end financial statements, and after careful consideration of all of the available information, Aurora has formed the view that the AZZG Notes should be recognised at a nil value.
