The creditors, which include the Norwegian landlord of SiC Processing, a supplier of SiC recycling lines and a shareholder of SiC Processing, agreed to delay the company’s outstanding debt until 28 February 2013.

In order to guarantee cash flow after the February date, SiC Processing and its shareholders plan to develop a restructuring plan. The plan will be presented to its major creditors and holders of the SiC Processing bond. The company’s intent is for the restructuring plan to help it maintain its competitive position in the market after this coming February.
