The second meetings of creditors of DSHE and its Australian subsidiaries were held today in Sydney. The Administrators presented the key findings of their Report to Creditors released on 13 July 2016.

Creditors also resolved to form a Committee of Inspection, to consult with the Liquidators about matters relating to the liquidations.

The second meetings of creditors of DSHE and its Australian subsidiaries have been convened for Monday, 25 July 2016 at 11:00am at the Wesley Conference Centre, 220 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

The Administrators confirm that ASIC has granted the following relief: The Dick Smith Group do not have to comply with any of the following obligations under Part 2M.3 of the Corporations Act 2001: prepare half-year financial reports under section 302 and lodge the reports with ASIC within the time required by section 320; and prepare a half-year directors' report under section 306. This relief applies to the financial half-year ended 28 December 2015, and ends on or before the earlier of: 9 August 2016; or the Dick Smith Group entering into liquidation.

a loss declaration has been issued and the capital loss can therefore be claimed in the financial year the declaration is issued - in this case 2015/16 (Administrators believe that there will not be a recovery sufficient to repay creditors in full. On this basis, there will not be a return of capital to shareholders. Pursuant to Section 104-145 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, administrators declare that they have reasonable grounds to believe that there is no likelihood that shareholders of DSHE will receive any distribution in the course of the external administration of the Dick Smith Group.)
