Question: The finance manager of the GZA Ltd is considering a recapitalization plan that would convert GZA from its current all-equity capital structure to one including substantial financial leverage.

The recapitalization proposal is to issue $60,000,000 worth of long-term, perpetual debt at an annual interest rate of 3.0% and use the proceeds to repurchase 4,000,000 ordinary shares worth $60,000,000.
