--------------------------
- ISIN information is provided for the convenience of holders of Existing Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers.
- For each €1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for exchange, subject to the conditions detailed in the Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer Memorandum. The Early Tender Consideration and the Exchange Consideration does not include the applicable accrued interest, which will be payable in cash in addition to the applicable consideration.
To be eligible to receive the Early Tender Consideration (as defined below), Eligible Holders who validly submit consent and exchange instructions to tender for exchange all Existing Notes held by them in the Exchange Offer and vote in favor of the Proposed Amendments (or submit an abstention instruction, as applicable) before 4:00 p.m. London time on December 1, 2025, unless extended, re-opened, amended or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms set forth in this Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer Memorandum (the “Early Tender Deadline”) will be eligible to receive, in exchange for each €1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn) (and subject to the required minimum denomination), €850 in principal amount of New Notes and €150 of cash (collectively, the “Early Tender Consideration”) and the Early Consent Fee of €5 of cash (the “Early Consent Fee”), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes up to, but not including, the Settlement Date, to be paid in cash. The Company reserves the right to reject, round up or round down any instruction that would result in any New Notes not being issued in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integrals of €1 in excess thereof (and any PIK Notes, if issued, may be issued in minimum denominations of €1 and integral multiples of €1 in excess thereof). In the event that an Eligible Holder only holds Existing Notes in an amount that would not meet the minimum denomination of the New Notes of €100,000 following the application of the exchange ratio due to the combination of New Notes and the cash payment that comprises the Early Tender Consideration, such Eligible Holder will instead receive €1,000 of New Notes in exchange for each €1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn) and no cash (other than the Early Consent Fee of €5), plus acrrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the Settlement Date, to be paid in cash. Eligible Holders who validly submit consent and exchange instructions to tender for exchange all Existing Notes held by them in the Exchange Offer and vote in favor of the Proposed Amendments (or submit an abstention instruction, as applicable) after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to 4:00 p.m. London time on December 16, 2025, unless extended, re-opened, amended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”) will be eligible to receive, in exchange for each €1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn prior to the Withdrawal Deadline) (and subject to the required minimum denomination), €1,000 in principal amount of New Notes (collectively, the “Exchange Consideration”), plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Settlement Date, to be paid in cash. A Participating Holder will receive either the Early Tender Consideration or the Exchange Consideration only if the Settlement Date occurs.
Validly tendered Existing Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the earlier of (i) 4:00 p.m. London time on December 1, 2025, or (ii) the time at which the Existing Notes Trustee received a written notice from the Company or one of its agents certifying that the Minimum Condition has been met, unless extended, reopened, amended or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms set forth in the Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer Memorandum, but not thereafter (subject to limited exceptions required by applicable law). The settlement date will occur promptly following the Expiration Time and is expected to be within three business days after the date on which the Expiration Time occurs (the “Settlement Date”).
On the Settlement Date, the Company will issue up to €323.0 million in aggregate principal amount of New Notes. The New Notes will accrue interest at the rate per annum computed against the principal of the New Notes outstanding, reset quarterly, equal to EURIBOR (which will be subject to a 0.00% floor), plus (i) from the Settlement Date to (and excluding) the first anniversary of the Settlement Date, 7.75% (of which up to 1.75% may be paid as PIK Interest (as defined in the Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer Memorandum) at the Company’s option), (ii) from the first anniversary of the Settlement Date to (and excluding) the second anniversary of the Settlement Date, 9.25% (of which up to 3.25% may be paid as PIK Interest at the Company’s option) and (iii) from the second anniversary of the Settlement Date, 11.00% (of which up to 5.00% may be paid as PIK Interest), in each case, payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on March 15, 2026. The New Notes will mature on January 31, 2030. At any time prior to December 15, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the New Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, plus a “make-whole” premium. On or after December 15, 2026, up to December 15, 2027, the Company may redeem all or part of the New Notes at a redemption price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the applicable New Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. After December 15, 2027, the Company may redeem all or part of the New Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the applicable New Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. The New Notes will be senior obligations of the Company and be guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior secured basis and secured by pledges over certain shares, receivables and other assets of the Company and the Guarantors. The covenants attendant upon the New Notes will be similar to the covenants for the Existing Notes, as further described in the Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer Memorandum.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company is soliciting consents in the Consent Solicitation to certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture dated June 18, 2021 (the “Existing Indenture”), among, among others, the Company and the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”), which governs the Existing Notes. The Company proposes to (a) remove substantially all of the covenants and other obligations under the Existing Indenture that can be removed with the consent of holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Existing Notes then outstanding (the “Proposed 50% Amendments”), (b) release all liens in the collateral securing the obligations under the Existing Indenture, the Existing Notes and the guarantees of the Existing Notes (and remove any related obligations or events of default with the consent of holders of at least 80% of the principal amount of the Existing Notes then outstanding (the “Proposed 80% Amendments”), and (c) (i) release all the guarantees of the Existing Notes, (ii) extend the maturity date of the Existing Notes to January 31, 2031 and (iii) remove substantially all of the covenants and other obligations under the Existing Notes Indenture that can be removed with the consent of holders of not less than 90% of the principal amount of the Existing Notes then outstanding (the “Proposed 90% Amendments”).
The occurrence of the Settlement Date will be subject to the receipt of valid instructions from Eligible Holders to consent to the Proposed Amendments and exchange their Existing Notes or abstain (as described below) that have not been validly withdrawn from not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time (the “Minimum Condition”). The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time to waive certain conditions to the Consent Solicitation or the Exchange Offer, extend the Expiration Time or amend the terms of the Consent Solicitation or the Exchange Offer. We have received confirmation from beneficial holders of Existing Notes collectively holding 86% of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes as to their acceptance of the proposed terms and participation in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Eligible Holders who validly tender their Existing Notes for exchange prior to the Expiration Time will also be deemed to have consented to the Proposed Amendments. Certain Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes who are unable, for fund constitutional or governance reasons, to participate in the Consent Solicitation and validly tender their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer may submit, or arrange to have submitted on its behalf, an electronic instruction by which it explicitly abstains from participating in the Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer for fund constitutional or governance reasons, but in which it acknowledges that in the event the Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer are successfully completed (in the sole determination of the Company), it will be deemed to be a Participating Holder and to have consented to the Proposed Amendments and its Existing Notes will be exchanged in the Exchange Offer.
Documents relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will only be distributed to holders of the Existing Notes who properly confirm that they are Eligible Holders.
