Business rescue ruled out, ATE now seeks international investors

Such investments, the company said in a statement, would enable ATE to be restored to full health and make an offer to creditors, suppliers and stakeholders, "which will surpass the offer in the former so called business rescue plan to a significant and material degree."

This follows a judgement by the North Gauteng High Court concerning ATE South Africa and its shareholders. ATE has not been allowed to implement business rescue proceedings to resuscitate the company.
