In conjunction with Morgan Stanley, the Administrators have shortlisted two bidders to progress to the next stage of the process. Both bidders are seeking to purchase the Arrium Australia business in one-line. The outcome of the next stage of the process will be to receive unconditional bids that can be accepted and completed swiftly. With the continued support of employees, customers and suppliers we are continuing to work hard to achieve the best result that provides certainty for all stakeholders. The Administrators are aiming to have the process finalised by 30 June 2017.

No further information with respect to the identity of the bidders or potential returns to creditors of Arrium Australia can be provided at this stage given the confidential nature of the process.

The Deed Administrators will provide a report to creditors shortly following completion of the process which will address:
