('Sentry'), the Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the Lenders) has released the securities granted at the time by the Company and the relevant subsidiaries which provided security over all of the assets of the Company and specified assets of the Group. As such the Company is now unencumbered by this security and is automatically, irrevocably, and unconditionally released, discharged and terminated of all the released assets from the fixed and floating charges, Liens and security interests constituted or intended to be constituted by the original security documents.
