Phibro again extends consent solicitation for 13% units

New York, Dec. 1 - Phibro Animal Health Corp. said it extended its solicitation of consents from holders of its $105 million of units consisting of its 13% senior secured notes due 2007 and the 13% senior secured notes due 2007 of Philipp Brothers Netherlands III BV.

The expiration date is now 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 8, pushed back from 12 p.m. ET on Nov. 30.

As of 12 p.m. ET on Nov. 30 holders of 97% of the notes had consented.

Phibro previously extended the consent solicitation on Nov. 24 and made it conditional on the company's planned offering of units.

As announced on Nov. 18, the Fort Lee, N.J., manufacturer of animal health products is seeking amendments and waivers to the note indenture to allow it to sell substantially all the facilities owned by Phibro Animal Health SA in Rixensart, Belgium, to reduce excess manufacturing capacity and to reduce operating expenses and also to permit the maximum amount of debt under the company's domestic senior credit facility to rise to $37.5 million from $15.0 million.

Phibro also wants to issue up to $22.5 million of new units to refinance part of the credit facility and to fund additional inventory and investments for the production of virginiamycin.

There will be no payment for consents.
