Coal miner new world resources will not pay the July 15 coupon on its senior unsecured notes to avoid jeopardising the company's restructuring plan, it said on Friday. "The company did not receive consent from the requisite majority of locked-up noteholders to make the July 15 coupon payment on the senior unsecured notes at the end of the grace period that expires today," NWR said in a regulatory filing. A 30-day grace period to seek consent for the payment ended on Friday. Paying the coupon without consent would allow noteholders who have already agreed to a capital restructuring to exit their lock-up agreement. NWR, majority owned by a group of investors including billionaire Zdenek Bakala, wants to cut its €825m debts - mostly in secured and unsecured notes due in 2018 and 2021- by €325m through the restructuring.
