This excerpt taken from the ELN 6-K filed Mar 30, 2009. d Athena
NotesNet charge on debt retirement
We incurred a total expense related to the redemption of the
Athena Notes of $19.2 million, primarily relating to a call
premium paid of $13.4 million and the cost for the
cancellation of the related interest rate swaps. Under IFRS,
this expense was recognised using the effective interest method
over the period from the issuance of the redemption notice in
December 2006 to the redemption date in January 2007, thus
resulting in a charge under IFRS of $11.5 million in 2006
and $7.7 million in 2007. Under U.S. GAAP,
substantially all of this charge was recognised upon
extinguishment of the Athena Notes in January 2007, which
resulted in a timing difference between IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
