All debentures were presented for repayment and cancellation, and the principal amount was paid to the holders in cash. The funds for redemption, were obtained from Maya’s operating subsidiary Zgounder Millenium Silver Mines, “While the Debenture conversion or repayment structure offered the investors interesting alternatives, the current metals market dictated the repayment of the principal plus interest to be in the best interests of these stakeholders.
