The Group believes that the Restructuring will de-lever it to a sustainable level, allowing it to remain operationally competitive and ensuring the viability of the business going forward.
As of the date of this notice, noteholders who, in aggregate, hold approximately 84.93% of the outstanding principal amount of the USD Notes have signed or acceded to the standstill and lock-up agreement executed earlier this month (the “LUA”), in order to facilitate the Restructuring to be implemented by the proposed Scheme.
The Group reiterates that, in accordance with the terms of the LUA, any other holders of the USD Notes who accede to the LUA by 4 October 2017 will still be eligible for Lock-Up Fees. The Group strongly encourages other holders of the USD Notes to accede to the LUA in support of the Restructuring, which the Group believes to be the optimal mutually beneficial solution for both holders of the Notes and the Group.
Noteholders interested in receiving more information regarding the LUA or in acceding to the LUA are directed to follow the link https://www.fesco.ru/en/investor/corporate-bonds/debt-restructuring/ or contacting the Information Agent.
The Group would like to express its gratitude to the holders of the USD Notes, the Ad Hoc Group and its advisors for their continued commitment to the restructuring process. The Group also confirms that all milestone requirements to date pursuant to the LUA have been satisfied.
