2016-11-21 10:30:19 CET 2016-11-21 10:30:19 CET REGLERAD INFORMATION Elematic Oyj - Final Bond TermsElematic Oyj signs a term sheet on amendment of bond terms and conditions to extend the maturity of the senior financingElematic Oyj ("Elematic") and certain significant bondholders representing approximately 67 per cent. of the outstanding nominal amount have today signed a term sheet (the "Term Sheet") on the amendment of the terms and conditions of the EUR 35,000,000 bonds issued by Elematic (the "Bonds"). Elematic will prepare a proposal for final amended terms and conditions and request the bondholders' agent to instigate a written procedure on the bondholders' approval in respect of the same. The bondholders that have signed the Term Sheet represent a passing majority required for approving the amendments contemplated by the Term Sheet. The amendments contemplated by the Term Sheet are subject to the approval of the bank creditor. The Term Sheet provides, among other things, the following amendments in respect of Elematic's financing: * The maturity of the senior financing (both the Bonds and the bank facilities) will be extended with one year (the new final redemption date of the Bonds being 30 May 2019 and the new final repayment date of the bank facilities 30 April 2019 respectively). * The Bonds will accrue quarterly payable interest in the amount of 10.00 per cent. per annum (if the interest is paid in cash) or 15.00 per cent. per annum (if the interest is capitalised). Until and including 31 May 2017 Elematic may choose whether the accrued interest is paid as cash interest or capitalised. Further, after 31 May 2017 cash interest shall be payable only if (i) LTM EBITDA exceeds EUR 5,000,000 (in which case the minimum of 50% of accrued interest shall be paid as cash interest) or LTM EBITDA exceeds EUR 7,000,000 (in which case 100% of accrued interest shall be paid as cash interest) and (ii) the clean down requirements under the bank facilities have been satisfied. * The bondholders shall have a right to propose one out of six board seats or, alternatively, up to two board observers. * Warrants (option rights entitling to shares in Elematic) will be issued to the bondholders in accordance with their share of holding in the Bonds. Such warrants will be exercisable only upon (i) a third party acquiring 50.1 per cent or more of all the shares in Elematic or any of its holding companies or (ii) a sale of all or substantial all of the asset of Elematic. The warrants taken together entitle to subscribe for shares corresponding in aggregate to 35 per cent. of all the shares in Elematic (on a fully diluted basis). The warrants will be issued in two classes (A and B). The A-warrants entitle to subscribe for shares corresponding in aggregate to 10 per cent. of all the shares in Elematic (on a fully diluted basis) and the B-warrants to shares corresponding in aggregate to 25 per cent. of all the shares in Elematic respectively. However, if the Bonds are redeemed or repurchased prior to the exercise of the warrants and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bonds, the amount of shares in Elematic the Bondholders may receive pursuant to the B-warrants will decrease accordingly. * If the revolving credit facility provided to Elematic is undrawn and if excess liquidity exceeds EUR 1,000,000, the exceeding liquidity must be used for a mandatory partial repayment of the Bonds at par value. Any advance payments received shall be reduced from the liquidity when calculating the excess liquidity. * In certain circumstances relating to the net leverage ratio, minimum liquidity or occurrence of an event of default, the Bondholders holding the majority of at least 50.1 per cent. shall have the right to demand that the shares in and shareholder loans granted to Elematic are sold to a third party determined by such Bondholders. * Elematic may redeem all of the outstanding Bonds in whole or in part at any time with an amount equal to the outstanding nominal amount per Bond together with accrued but unpaid interest. * Subject to the applicable securities law and stock exchange rule requirements, Elematic will apply for the Bonds to be de-listed.
