Yeeda Pastoral Company and its subsidiaries - Case Update

Richard Tucker, Anthony Miskiewicz and David Osborne of KordaMentha, the administrators of Yeeda Pastoral Company and its subsidiaries, including Kimberley Meat Company, are recommending a DOCA proposed by TLP4 Australia Holdings, a fund backed by the Canadian government.

The proposed DOCA allows continuity for the companies, their businesses and retained employees through a share transfer of various of the entities to the purchaser for consideration including $38.5 million plus approximately $755 per cattle.

The administrators also note that, although creditors may have claims against the directors of certain of the entities for insolvent trading (over $4.5 million) and voidable transactions (approximately $775,000), any liquidator will have to borrow funds to pursue these causes of action, whose outcomes are uncertain. The second meeting is scheduled for 30 July.
