Wollongong Hawks are BACK!!!
The Wollongong Hawks are pleased to announce the deed of company arrangement proposal has been accepted by creditors allowing the club to compete in the 2015/16 NBL season and extend their 36 year history in the NBL.
The deed was unanimously passed through by creditors, a majority of whom are employees of the Hawks and ensures all their outstanding superannuation is paid and leave and service entitlements honoured.
The club was placed into voluntary administration on March 2 and since then have been working closely with the NBL, the players association and the administrators to ensure the best possible outcome was reached for all parties.
General Manager Kim Welch said the lengthy process had been worthwhile, and the support shown from the local business community had helped secure the clubs future for the upcoming season.
"The support from the community has been very encouraging and we thank the fans for their patience. It was important we took our time working with all the relevant parties to ensure we got this right," said Welch.
“Of course this wouldn't of been possible without the great support from Multi Civil and Rail who are set to become the clubs new major sponsor, and the recommitment from Wollongong Coal, McDonalds Illawarra, SKS and all the great local businesses that have already pledged their support for season 15/16”.
