However, the company said shareholders will get nothing under the company’s wind-down plan.

“The board continues to implement the fallback solution, which is the orderly wind-down of the business, which is expected to result in no value attributable to shareholders once the wind-down is completed,” Amigo stated.

It added that “for the benefit of creditors, the board continues to be open to any indications of interest from third parties for any part of the business.”
