PERTH, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The voluntary administrators of Griffin Coal recently invited holders (the “Noteholders”) of the 9½% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) to attend presentations on Griffin Coal in Hong Kong and New York (the “Presentations”) at 10.00am (Hong Kong time) on 12 May 2010 and 10.00am (New York time) on 17 May 2010 respectively.

During the Presentations, two of Griffin Coal’s administrators, Brian McMaster and Scott Kershaw gave an update in relation to the financial and operational performance of Griffin Coal and certain related entities. Representatives of Macquarie and UBS, investment bankers engaged by the administrators, also presented.
