Rationale for the Offers
The rationale for the Offers and the issue of new notes to be denominated in U.S. Dollars, which the Issuer intends to issue, subject to market conditions (the "New Notes") is to permit the Group to manage proactively the Group's upcoming debt redemptions, to lower the average cost of the Group's debt portfolio and to extend the average debt maturity profile of the Group. The Issuer intends to cancel all Notes purchased by it pursuant to the Offers.
The Offers
In respect of any Offer:
-- Holders of Notes that validly tender their Notes and that concurrently consent to the relevant Proposal at or prior to the Early Participation Deadline will, to the extent their Notes are accepted for purchase, receive the relevant Total Consideration for such Notes, which is comprised of the relevant Tender Offer Consideration and the relevant Early Tender Premium;
-- Holders of Notes that validly tender their Notes and that concurrently consent to the relevant Proposal after the Early Participation Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Deadline will, to the extent their Notes are accepted for purchase, receive only the relevant Tender Offer Consideration, which does not include the relevant Early Tender Premium; and
-- in any case, Holders of Notes that validly tender their Notes and that concurrently consent to the relevant Proposal will, to the extent the Notes are accepted for purchase, also receive Accrued Interest on such Notes as described further in the Memorandum.
In order to be valid, the tender of any Notes in any Tender Offer is conditional upon the relevant Holder concurrently consenting to approve the relevant Proposal. In the case of Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, the tender of any Notes in any Tender Offer will automatically result in such Notes being voted to approve the relevant Extraordinary Resolution consenting to the relevant Proposal. In the case of Notes held through DTC, the tender of any Notes in any Tender Offer is conditional upon the relevant Holder concurrently submitting a Form of Sub-Proxy to the Tender and Tabulation Agent to approve the relevant Extraordinary Resolution consenting to the relevant Proposal.
Pursuant to the Proposals, the Issuer and KMG Finance are inviting Holders to approve the modifications of the Conditions of each series of Notes (as described in the Extraordinary Resolutions set out in the Notices of Meetings which are set out in the Memorandum) to provide that the Issuer shall redeem all, but not some only, of the Notes of each series remaining (if any) on completion of the Tender Offers on or immediately following a date that is expected to be 3 November 2020 at the Early Redemption Amount, which shall be equal to the Tender Offer Consideration, together with Accrued Interest in respect of the Notes (for such purpose assuming that any Accrued Interest would otherwise be paid in full on the next succeeding interest payment date), from (and including) the immediately preceding interest payment date to (but excluding) the Early Redemption Date.
Alternatively, to be eligible to receive an Early Consent Fee (without tendering Notes), Holders must consent to the relevant Proposal at or prior to the Early Participation Deadline. Early Consent Fees will only be paid if the relevant Extraordinary Resolution is approved at the relevant Meeting. Holders who consent to any Proposal (without tendering Notes) after the Early Participation Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Deadline shall not be eligible to receive any consent fee or other consideration.
The Issuer will accept tenders of Notes for purchase only in principal amounts equal to the minimum denomination of each series of the Notes of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof . No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.
Holders may consent to, vote against or abstain from any Proposal without tendering Notes.
New Financing Condition
On or around the date of the Memorandum, the Issuer expects to announce its intention to issue the New Notes. The Issuer (or KMG Finance on behalf of the Issuer) will decide, in its sole discretion, whether to accept for purchase Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers subject to the Issuer (or KMG Finance on behalf of the Issuer) being satisfied that it has received (or will receive on or prior to the Settlement Date) an amount by way of proceeds of the issue of New Notes, which is sufficient (as determined by the Issuer (or KMG Finance on behalf of the Issuer) in its sole discretion) in order to enable the Issuer to finance, in whole or in part, the payment by it of (i) the relevant Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration (as the case may be) and Accrued Interest in respect of all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers, (ii) any Early Consent Fees and (iii) the relevant Early Redemption Amount and Accrued Interest in respect of all Notes subject to the Mandatory Early Redemption, if the Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of any series of Notes are approved at the Meetings. Whether the Issuer will purchase any Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers is subject, without limitation, to the pricing and settlement of the issue of the New Notes.
Priority in Allocation of New Notes
The Issuer intends, in connection with allocations of the New Notes, to consider among other factors whether or not the relevant investor seeking an allocation of the New Notes has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers, and, if so, the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered or intended to be tendered by such investor. When considering allocations of any New Notes, the Issuer intends to give preference to those investors who, prior to such allocation (which may be before the Early Participation Deadline or the Expiration Deadline), have tendered, or indicated to the Issuer or the Dealer Managers their firm intention to tender, Notes. Any such preference will, subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the Issuer, be applicable up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered or firmly indicated to be tendered by such Noteholder pursuant to the relevant Tender Offer. However, the Issuer is not obliged to allocate any New Notes to an investor which has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender Notes pursuant to any Tender Offer.
A Noteholder who is eligible and wishes to subscribe for any New Notes in addition to tendering its Notes for purchase pursuant to any Tender Offer will be required to make a separate application for the purchase of such New Notes to any manager of the issue of the New Notes in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such manager. A Noteholder, if it so wishes, may elect to subscribe for any New Notes in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the aggregate principal amount of Notes which are the subject of such Noteholders' Tender Instruction or firm intention to tender. The deadline for investors to seek an allocation of any New Notes may precede the Early Participation Deadline or the Expiration Deadline.
Meetings and Announcement of Results
There will be Meetings of Holders to consider the Proposals on 28 October 2020 at the offices of White & Case LLP, 5 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1DW, United Kingdom at (i) in respect of the 2022 Notes, 10:00 a.m. (London time) and (ii) in respect of the 2023 Notes, 10:15 a.m. (London time).
In light of the ongoing developments in relation to COVID-19, it may become impossible or inadvisable to hold the Meeting at the offices of White & Case LLP at 5 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1DW. To the extent that the Issuer determines that it will not be possible to hold the Meetings at the offices of White & Case LLP at 5 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1DW, the Trustee may prescribe further regulations regarding, among other things, the holding of the Meeting, which may include holding the Meeting by conference call or other electronic means.
After the Meetings, the Issuer and/or KMG Finance shall announce (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes of each series validly tendered and the results of the Offers, (ii) whether the New Financing Condition has been satisfied, and (iii) the results of the Meetings and, if any of the Extraordinary Resolutions have been passed and (provided the New Financing Condition has been satisfied) the relevant Supplemental Trust Deeds have been executed, the Early Redemption Date. If any Meeting is adjourned for lack of quorum or otherwise, the Issuer and KMG Finance intend to extend the Offers and postpone the Settlement Date. Holders will not be given withdrawal rights as a result of such postponement, if any, and all tendered Notes will remain blocked until any later Settlement Date or subsequent termination of the Tender Offers (or, in either case, immediately thereafter).
General
The Issuer (or KMG Finance on the Issuer's behalf) may, in its sole discretion, extend, re-open, amend or waive any condition of, including the New Financing Condition, or terminate, any Offer at any time (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Memorandum). Details of any such extension, re-opening, amendment, waiver, termination or withdrawal will be announced as provided in this announcement as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant decision is made.
Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a Holder in order for that Holder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, any Offer before the deadlines specified in the Memorandum.
