DUBAI, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Shareholders of Dana Gas

DANA.AD , the Abu Dhabi-listed energy firm, will vote on March 14 to approve a restructuring plan for its $920 million sukuk after failing to meet maturity of the Islamic bond last year.

Dana became the first company in UAE to miss repayment of a maturing bond on October 31 but agreed new terms with a creditor committee representing bondholders, which included investment firms Ashmore Group ASHM.L and BlackRock BLK.N , a week later. ID:nL5E8M72F8

The company has been hamstrung by payment delays on gas it supplied to Egypt and Iraq's Kurdistan region. In early December, Dana's outstanding receivables amounted to $220 million and $350 million respectively, according to a company statement at the time.

Under the plan, the Sharjah-based company will repay $70 million in cash, with the remaining $850 million split equally between two new five-year sukuk - an ordinary Islamic bond and a convertible sukuk - which pay an average coupon of 8 percent.

Crescent Petroleum, the largest shareholder in Dana with a 20 percent stake, will back the restructuring plan, its chief executive told Reuters in January. ID:nL5E9C9C4S

Dana posted a 20-percent rise in 2012 net profit on the back of higher oil prices and lower costs, it said earlier this month. ID:nL5N0B31IQ
