Aligera AB (publ) is considering filing for bankruptcy and Aligera Vind AB and Aligera Holding AB (publ) will file for bankruptcy

As announced in the press releases dated 9 November 2017, 16 January 2018 and 23 January 2018, Aligera AB’s (publ) (the "Company") wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Aligera Holding AB (publ) (the “Subsidiary”), and a group of the larger holders (the “Bondholder Committee”) of the Subsidiary’s SEK 500,000,000 senior secured bonds (ISIN SE0005933231) (the “Bonds”) have for a period of time discussed a potential agreement on an out of court restructuring and an agreed standstill period has run since 9 November 2017.

Bankruptcy of Aligera Holding AB (publ) and Aligera Vind AB

Since the parties have not been able to reach an agreement on an out of court restructuring that would result in a long term viable capital structure, the Subsidiary is insolvent. The Company's directly owned subsidiary, Aligera Vind AB, which in turn is the direct owner of the Subsidiary, owes obligations to the Subsidiary and has no other assets than the shares in the Subsidiary. Aligera Vind AB is therefore also insolvent. It has therefore been decided that the Subsidiary and Aligera Vind AB will file for bankruptcy. It will be announced through a separate press release when the bankruptcy applications have been filed with the relevant district courts.

The Company is evaluating its position and will communicate its decision as to whether it also will need to file for bankruptcy within the next following week.
