ATH shares dive 50% as debt deal is struck

SHARES in troubled coal miner ATH Resources tumbled almost 50% after it warned it was unlikely to be able to maintain shareholder value and its debt had been bought by a venture capital fund.

Guernsey-based investment manager Better Capital PCC, which specialises in turning around distressed businesses, acquired ATH's debt from existing lenders HSBC and Clydesdale Bank.

As a result ATH, headed by chief executive Alistair Black, warned there will have to be "a comprehensive review and restructuring" of the business.
