An official waiver was subsequently obtained on 31 December 2008 but AWT was subjected to a revised set of financial covenants, requiring it to repay specific principal amounts with accrued interest on stipulated dates. For such repayments, a redemption amount of US$2 million was scheduled for payment on 31 March 2009. However, unable to pick up its business within such a short time, AWT failed to meet the repayment again. It obtained an extension until 5 June 2009, pending the conclusion of an agreement for new injection of funds into the company by potential investors. When AWT did not meet the second payment deadline, bondholders granted a further extension on condition that AWT entered into a legally binding written contract with potential investors. After conducting numerous meetings and negotiations, AWT received two written offers, including an offer from SI Infrastructure.
