SRV Group Plc (“SRV”) announced on 28 April 2022 that it was commencing written procedures regarding potential amendments to the terms and conditions of SRV’s EUR 100 million unsecured fixed-rate notes due on 23 March 2025 (of which EUR 34.9 million is outstanding) (“EUR 100 million Notes”) and EUR 75 million unsecured fixed-rate notes due on 27 March 2025 (of which EUR 64.9 million is outstanding) (“EUR 75 million Notes” and together with the EUR 100 million Notes “Notes”). In connection therewith, SRV invited all holders of the Notes to tender their Notes for redemption for cash consideration at a price that corresponds to 60% of the adjusted nominal amount of each Note (the “Tender Offer”). The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer have been described in a separate Consent Solicitation and Tender Offer Memorandum, which has been available to the holders of the Notes.
SRV also announced on 28 April 2022 that it was commencing written procedures regarding potential amendments to the terms and conditions of SRV’s EUR 45 million hybrid bond issued on 22 March 2016 (of which EUR 11.8 million is outstanding) (“EUR 45 million Notes”) and EUR 58.4 million hybrid bond issued on 23 May 2019 (of which EUR 3.6 million is outstanding) (“EUR 58.4 million Notes” and together with the EUR 45 million Notes “Hybrid Bonds”).
Today, SRV announces that the proposed amendments have been approved in all the written procedures. In addition, SRV announces that regarding the Tender Offer, the holders of the EUR 100 million Notes have tendered their notes for redemption to SRV in an aggregate nominal amount of no less than EUR 16,500,000 and no more than EUR 18,000,000 and the holders of the EUR 75 million Notes have tendered their notes for redemption to SRV in an aggregate nominal amount of no less than EUR 27,000,000 and no more than 29,000,000. The amounts are specified in the course of a verificatory count over the next few days. Hence, the amount of funds required for the redemption is preliminarily between EUR 26.1 million and EUR 28.2 million. The Tender Offer is conditional to the completion of restructuring of SRV’s financing and the aggregate amount of the Notes to be redeemed will be confirmed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer after the number of shares subscribed in the SRV’s rights issue of approximately EUR 35 million to the Company’s current shareholders, has been determined approximately on 27 June 2022.
