Current managing director John Wreford will remain the managing director of Repcol WA Pty Ltd.
Repcol holds a 50 per cent stake in Transpacific Debt Purchase Pty Ltd , which also purchases debts from banks, finance houses and credit providers, as well as operations in Bangalore.
The company plans to offload both assets to US-based Cargill Inc, which owns the remainder of Transpacific, for $4.96 million in order to discharge the $5 million in debt owed to the company under a convertible note.
The sale will enable Repcol to satisfy the Cargill Convertible Note, provided that Repcol either pays to Cargill an additional sum of $340,000 or, if it is unable to raise sufficient funds to make that payment, issues 42 million shares to Cargill.
