Atrium European Real Estate Limited announces Tender Offer and Proposal for its
EUR600,000,000 5.375 per cent. Guaranteed Notes due 2013
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN ITALY (SEE "OFFER AND DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS" BELOW)
Jersey, 29 April 2010: Atrium European Real Estate Limited (the Company) (ATX/Euronext: ATRS), a leading real estate company focused on shopping centre investment, management and development in Central and Eastern Europe, announced today an invitation to holders of its outstanding EUR600,000,000 5.375 per cent. Guaranteed Notes due 2013 (ISIN: XS0263871328) (the Notes) to tender their Notes for purchase by the Company for cash (the Offer). Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is inviting Noteholders to consider and, if thought fit, pass two separate Extraordinary Resolutions to provide for the amendments outlined below to be made to the terms and conditions of the Notes (the Proposal).
The Offer and the Proposal are being made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 29 April 2010 (the Tender Offer Memorandum), including the offer and distribution restrictions set out below and as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum (the Offer Restrictions), and this announcement should be read in conjunction with the Tender Offer Memorandum. Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.
The principal purpose of the Offer and the Proposal is to repurchase or redeem all of the outstanding Notes. In addition to the immediate interest cost savings, the Company considers that it can source financing opportunities at a lower cost and otherwise on more appropriate terms. To the extent the Offer and the Proposal do not result in the repurchase or redemption of all of the outstanding Notes, the Company seeks to amend substantially the terms and conditions of the Notes in order to allow the Company to pursue alternative financing opportunities.
Details of the Offer and the Proposal
The Company will pay a cash purchase price equal to 100 per cent. of the nominal amount of the Notes (the Repurchase Price) accepted by it for repurchase pursuant to the Offer. The Company will also pay an amount in respect of accrued interest (an Accrued Interest Payment) on such Notes.
Noteholders who validly tender their Notes by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 20 May 2010 (and who do not subsequently revoke such tender) will be eligible to receive an additional cash payment (the Early Tender Payment) equal to 1.5 per cent. of the nominal amount of such Notes accepted by the Company for repurchase in consideration for its tender of the relevant Notes.
The Offer begins on 29 April 2010 and expires at 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 7 June 2010 (the Expiration Deadline), unless extended or terminated by the Company. In order to be eligible to receive the Repurchase Price, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes by the Expiration Deadline by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum) that is received by the Tender Agent by the Expiration Deadline. Noteholders who wish to accept the Offer should refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for the procedures which must be followed in order to accept the Offer.
Pursuant to the Proposal, Noteholders tendering Notes by 10.00 a.m. (London time) on 2 June 2010 (the Voting Deadline) will be deemed to have delivered their consent to the Extraordinary Resolutions. The First Extraordinary Resolution, if passed, provides for the insertion of a call option by which the Company shall redeem on 11 June 2010 (the Settlement Date) all (but not some only) of the Notes remaining (if any) on completion of the Offer. The Second Extraordinary Resolution, if passed, would allow for the removal of substantially all of the covenants and certain of the events of default contained in the terms and conditions of the Notes and the insertion of a put option which may be exercised (for a limited period) by Noteholders to whom the Offer is not being made pursuant to the Offer Restrictions (each an Ineligible Noteholder). Ineligible Noteholders who wish to participate in the Proposal should refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for the procedures which must be followed in order to participate. Ineligible Noteholders who submit a valid Ineligible Noteholder Instruction in favour of the Proposal prior to the Early Tender Deadline may be eligible to receive an identical amount to the Early Tender Payment.
A summary of the terms appears below:
