INTU DEBENTURE PLC (THE "COMPANY") ANNOUNCES ANTICIPATED EVENT OF DEFAULT ARISING FROM ANTICIPATED Non-payment of upcoming Scheduled Interest Amount and Scheduled Redemption Amount
28 June 2022
Upcoming Anticipated Event of Default
The Company gives notice that whilst it is due, pursuant to Clause 5 of the Trust Deed and Condition 2 and Condition 3 of the Stock, to make payment of the Scheduled Interest Amount and the Scheduled Redemption Amount on 30 June 2022, the Company does not anticipate that it will be able to pay, wholly or partly, either the Scheduled Interest Amount or the Scheduled Redemption Amount on 30 June 2022 (collectively, the "June Payments"), or within the 14-day grace period for non-payment (as set out in Condition 16(i) of the Stock). Accordingly, the Company anticipates that a further Event of Default will arise on 14 July 2022.
As set out in the Company announcement made on 23 June 2022 providing, amongst other things, an update on the proposed amendment and restructuring transaction (as more fully set out therein) (the "23 June RNS"), which is available on the Company website at https://debentureplc.com/rns/, the anticipated date of release of a Notice of Meeting at which Stockholders will be asked to approve an Extraordinary Resolution regarding the proposed amendment and restructuring transaction (the "Proposed Restructuring") has been delayed due to the parties requiring further time to negotiate and finalise the documentation and to establish the new holding structure contemplated by the Proposed Restructuring. The Company expects to be in a position to issue this Notice of Meeting during the month of July 2022.
As a result of this delay in issuing the Notice of Meeting, the Company has been unable to implement the proposed changes to its current debt service obligations. The Debenture Group continues to tightly manage liquidity and believes it would be prudent to apply the limited funds currently held by it to maintain the business of the Debenture Group, rather than using those funds to pay either of the June Payments.
The Company will continue to keep Stockholders notified of any relevant developments in accordance with applicable law and regulation.
Capitalised terms used in this Notice and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust Deed dated 5 October 2006 (as amended and supplemented from time to time) and the Supplemental Trust Deed dated 30 July 2020 (together, the "Trust Deed") constituting the Stock and made between the Company, the Charging Subsidiaries (as defined in the Trust Deed), and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the "Trustee"), unless the context otherwise requires.
Please note that the Trustee has not been involved in the preparation or formulation of this announcement and expresses no views or opinions on this announcement. Stockholders are advised to take their own legal, financial and/or tax advice in relation to this announcement.
