Ad-hoc 3W Power / AEG Power Solutions: 3W Power / AEG Power Solutions announces Results of the Option Right Exercise and the Early Termination of its Bonds
Luxembourg / Zwanenburg, The Netherlands - 28 August 2018. 3W Power S.A., the holding company of AEG Power Solutions Group, announces the results of the subscription offer and the exercise of acquisition rights by the bondholders of its two corporate bonds (ISIN: DE000A1ZJZB9 and DE000A1Z9U50) as well as the early termination of such two bonds.
During the exercise period from 1 August to 22 August 2018, bondholders representing approximately 93.5% (ISIN: DE000A1Z9U50) and 55.5% (ISIN: DE000A1ZJZB9) of the company's two corporate bonds have exercised their acquisition rights (unconditional option rights and oversubscription rights) and have, in course of the exercise, also delivered their notes to the settlement agent and waived their repayment; the delivered notes will be cancelled promptly. In total, the authorized capital in the amount of EUR 7,570,787 available for servicing the acquisition rights of the bondholders was oversubscribed by approximately EUR 4 million. The capital increase from EUR 400,000 by EUR 7,570,787 to EUR 7,970,787 can therefore be implemented this week as planned; the same applies to the final settlement of the option rights' exercise.
As the last step necessary for the successful completion of the restructuring, the Company resolved today to terminate all of the outstanding notes 2015/2020 (ISIN: DE000A1Z9U50) pursuant to § 6 para 2 of the applicable terms and conditions as well as all of the outstanding notes 2014/2019 (ISIN: DE000A1ZJZB9) pursuant to § 4(c) of the applicable terms and conditions, each in whole and early with effect as of 31 August 2018. The respective termination notices will be published today inter alia on the company's website (www.aegps.com).
The terminated and outstanding notes will be redeemed each on Friday, 31 August 2018 and at their nominal amount, i.e. the notes 2015/2020 (ISIN: DE000A1Z9U50) at the nominal amount of EUR 100.- per note and the notes 2014/2019 (ISIN: DE000A1ZJZB9) at the nominal amount of EUR 5.- per note.
