The ad hoc committee, representing in excess of 72% of the €300 million notes due 2024 and the €232 million notes due 2023, have agreed to extend the maturity profile of the group with new notes maturing in 2026.
The group also received consent from noteholders to allow the incurrence of an up to €100 million bridge facility under the credit facilities basket. The new facility will be provided by the ad hoc bondholder committee and is intended to cover Naviera’s liquidity shortage until early 2021, when the loan of up to €125 million from the Spanish state-owned industrial holding company Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales, or SEPI, is expected to be provided, as previously
reported. The €100 million facility will be provided in two tranches.
The group will enter a comprehensive lockup agreement in January to facilitate the implementation of the financial restructuring, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, according to a company statement.
