NOTICE
To the holders of the Issuer's Bonds
Alleged Event of Default
Unless otherwise provided, terms defined in the Master Definitions Schedule dated 8 December 2004 (as the same may be amended, varied or supplemented from time to time) shall have the same meaning where used in this Notice.
On 15 December 2004, Catalyst Healthcare (Manchester) Limited ("Project Co") entered into a Project Agreement with Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (now Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust) (the "Trust") (the "Project Agreement"), for the financing, design, construction and operation of Central Manchester and Manchester Children's University Hospital (the "Hospital").
On 14 November 2017, there was an electrical outage at the Hospital (the "Power Outage"). During investigations into the Power Outage, an issue was identified with the Hospital's emergency lighting automatic system whereby the system could not always assess whether certain emergency light fittings were working or not (the "Emergency Lighting Issues").
The Power Outage and the Emergency Lighting Issues will be referred to in this Notice as the "Power Issues".
On 16 January 2018, the Trust issued notice of a Project Co Event of Default in respect of the Power Issues. The Trust has asserted that if Project Co fails to rectify the Project Co Event of Default or if it fails to provide a reasonable remedial programme then it has the right to terminate the Project Agreement and/or the relevant supply-chain contract.
Project Co and Project Co's Hard Facilities Management Contractor, Sodexo Limited ("Sodexo"), dispute that a Project Co Event of Default has occurred in relation to the Power Issues and do not consider that the Trust has any right to terminate the Project Agreement and/or the relevant supply-chain contract.
Project Co and the Issuer have been working (and are continuing to work) with the Trust and Sodexo in order to resolve the Power Issues, which includes finalising an appropriate remedial programme, a draft of which had been produced before the Trust chose to allege that a Project Co Event of Default had occurred.
Project Co and the Issuer are hopeful that matters will be resolved between the parties shortly.
Project Co and the Issuer continue to take legal advice with respect to the matters mentioned in this Notice and will keep the matter under continual review.
A further update will be given in due course.
