Subject: Convening a Bondholder Meeting for holders of series A bonds
Legal basis: Other regulations
The Management Board of ENERGA SA (“Issuer”), acting pursuant to item 2(a)(i) of the Bondholder Meeting Bylaws forming Appendix 1A to the “Terms and conditions of the issue of series A bonds coded by the National Depository for Securities with the ISIN number PLENERG00014, admitted and introduced to trading on the regulated market in the Catalyst platform organized by BondSpot SA, maturing on 18 October 2019 (“Bonds”), hereby convenes, at its own initiative, a Bondholder Meeting aimed at amending the terms and conditions of the Bond issue to be held on 19 September 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in the offices of the law firm Allen & Overy, A. Pędzich sp. k., located in Warsaw at Rondo ONZ 1, room 2, floor 34.
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE MEETING
The subject matter of the Bondholder Meeting will be to adopt a resolution to amend the terms and conditions of the Bond issue (“Terms of Issue”) in respect of the following:
1) amending the definition of “EBITDA” contained in item 1 (Definitions) of the Terms of Issue.
The Issuer proposes the following new wording of the said item:
Definition contained in item 1 (Definitions) of the Terms of Issue: “EBITDA: means, for the Last Twelve Months, operating profit (loss) plus amortization and depreciation and impairment losses on non-financial non-current assets, computed on the basis of the Issuer’s relevant annual audited consolidated financial statements or the Issuer’s interim consolidated financial statements, compliant with IFRS.”
The current wording of the said item is as follows:
Definition contained in item 1 (Definitions) of the Terms of Issue: “EBITDA: means, for the Last Twelve Months, operating profit (loss) plus amortization and depreciation, computed on the basis of the Issuer’s relevant annual audited consolidated financial statements or the Issuer’s interim consolidated financial statements, compliant with IFRS.”
The amendment to the above definition is aimed at adjusting the contents of the Terms of Issue to the provisions of other financing agreements entered into by the Issuer and at ensuring consistency of presentation with the published results. Unification of the provisions of the Terms of Issue in all financing contracts will also help prevent any future interpretation-related doubts.
2) changes in the level of the interest margin set forth in item 3.6.1 of the Terms of Issue.
The Issuer proposes the following new wording of the said item:
Item 3.6.1 of the Terms of Issue: “The Interest Rate for a given Interest Period shall be the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an interest margin of:
(a) for Interest Periods ending on 19 October 2016: 1.50% per annum; and
(b) for Interest Periods starting on 19 October 2016: 1.70% per annum.”
The current wording of the said item is as follows:
Item 3.6.1 of the Terms of Issue: “The Interest Rate for a given Interest Period shall be the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an interest margin of 1.50% per annum.”
The Bondholder Meeting will also be able to also take any and all factual or legal actions that may be necessary during the Bondholder Meeting in connection with the amendments to the terms of issue of the Bonds referred to in items 1 and 2 above.
A draft Resolution of the Bondholder Meeting on the amendments to the terms of issue of the Bonds, as proposed above, forms Appendix 1 to this Current Report.
