The Issuer has today, in conjunction with KMG Finance, provided notices of meetings (the "Notices of Meetings") to solicit proxies (the "Solicitation") from the beneficial holders of the outstanding Notes (the "Noteholders") to consider and, if thought fit, pass Extraordinary Resolutions (the "Extraordinary Resolutions") at meetings of the Noteholders (the "Meetings") in relation to certain consents and amendments (the "Consents and Amendments") being sought to (i) the terms and conditions of the 2018 Notes (the "2018 Note Conditions"), (ii) the terms and conditions of the 2020 Notes (the "2020 Note Conditions"), (iii) the terms and conditions of the 2021 Notes (the "2021 Note Conditions"), (iv) the terms and conditions of the 2022 Notes (the "2022 Note Conditions"), (v) the terms and conditions of the 2023 Notes (the "2023 Note Conditions"), (vi) the terms and conditions of the 2025 Notes (the "2025 Note Conditions"), (vii) the terms and conditions of the 2027 Notes (the "2027 Note Conditions"), (viii) the terms and conditions of the 2043 Notes (the "2043 Note Conditions"), (ix) the terms and conditions of the 2044 Notes (the "2044 Note Conditions") and (x) the terms and conditions of the 2047 Notes (the "2047 Note Conditions", which collectively with the 2018 Note Conditions, the 2020 Note Conditions, the 2021 Note Conditions, the 2022 Note Conditions, the 2023 Note Conditions, the 2025 Note Conditions, the 2027 Note Conditions, the 2043 Conditions and the 2044 Note Conditions are referred to as the "Conditions"), all as more fully described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (the "Memorandum") dated 20 June 2017 (the "Proposal").
Subject to the terms of the Proposal and, unless such condition is waived by the Issuer, provided all Extraordinary Resolutions are passed and become effective in accordance with their terms and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date (see "Expected Timetable" below), Noteholders who validly vote in favour of the Proposal in accordance with the Solicitation will be entitled to receive the applicable Early Consent Fee on the Settlement Date (see "Early Consent Fee" below). Noteholders are advised to refer to the Memorandum for meanings of capitalised terms used in this announcement, the full terms of the Solicitation and the procedures related thereto.
The Notices of Meetings convening the Meetings at the offices of Allen & Overy LLP at One Bishops Square, London E1 6AD, at which the Extraordinary Resolutions to approve the Proposal and its implementation will be considered and, if thought fit, passed, have been published in accordance with the Conditions.
The initial meeting (in respect of the 2018 Notes) will commence at 10:00 a.m. (London time) on 12 July 2017, with subsequent Meetings in respect of each other Series being held at 15 minute intervals thereafter or after the completion of the preceding Meeting (whichever is later).
Background to and Rationale for the Proposal
General
Following a successful issuance of Notes in 2017, KMG proposes to align the terms and conditions of its Notes with the terms of capital markets debt issued by other vertically integrated oil and gas groups and/or state-owned companies with long-term credit ratings comparable to KMG. At the time of KMG's most recent Notes issuances in April 2017, KMG's focus was on the placement of the 2017 issued Notes. The current consent solicitation is intended to modify both the Notes issued in 2017 and those Series of Notes issued previously. Additionally, certain changes are intended to make the terms and conditions consistent across all Series. Investors are referred to, and should carefully review, the Proposal in full, as set out under "Terms of the Consent Solicitation - General".
KMG has discussed the Consents and Amendments contemplated by the Memorandum with Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch"), Moody's Investor Services Limited ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services Europe Limited ("S&P"). Based on these discussions, KMG expects that none of these rating agencies will downgrade or take any other negative action in respect of the credit ratings assigned to the Notes (Moody's: Baa3; S&P: BB; and Fitch: BBB-) at this time as a result of the Consents and Amendments. KMG further notes that, as at the date of the Memorandum, KMG is not contemplating any sale or disposition of assets that would have a material effect on the financial position of the Group, taken as a whole.
Record Date
Noteholder consent is being sought to approve, with retroactive effect, the fixing by the Issuer of the Record Date (see "Expected Timetable" below) in respect of the Proposal at 29 June 2017 notwithstanding the requirements of the Trust Deeds. The Record Date is used to determine which DTC Participants will be allowed to vote on the Proposal, and only those Direct Participants in DTC appearing on the omnibus proxy issued by DTC on the Record Date will be entitled to submit Forms of Sub-Proxy. The Trust Deeds provide that the record date for the purposes of any meeting may not be more than ten days prior to the time fixed for such meeting.
Early Consent Fee
Noteholders who validly submit an Electronic Voting Instruction or who validly submit a Form of Sub-Proxy, as applicable, in favour of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution that is received by the relevant Tabulation Agent on or prior to the Early Consent Expiration Time and who have not validly revoked their Electronic Voting Instruction or Form of Sub-Proxy, as applicable, will be entitled to receive the applicable Early Consent Fee, provided that all Extraordinary Resolutions that are the subject of the Proposal are duly passed (unless such condition is waived by the Issuer) and become effective in accordance with their terms and the Effective Date has occurred.
The Early Consent Fee will be paid as consideration for the relevant Noteholders' approval of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution, and, unless such condition is waived by the Issuer, are subject to the passing of the Extraordinary Resolutions relating to all ten Series. Unless such Condition is waived by the Issuer, no Early Consent Fee shall be payable to any Noteholder to the extent any one or more Extraordinary Resolutions is not duly passed at the relevant Meeting or, as the case may be, Adjourned Meeting, notwithstanding that any other Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed at the relevant Meeting or, as the case may be, Adjourned Meeting.
Revocation of instructions
Noteholders who have submitted Electronic Voting Instructions or Forms of Sub-Proxy, as applicable, have a right to revoke such instruction in the following circumstances only: (i) if required by law or permitted by the relevant Trust Deed (as applicable); or (ii) if KMG and KMG Finance consider that any modification or amendment (excluding any material modification or amendment to the relevant Extraordinary Resolution which may not be made during the relevant Meeting notice period) is materially prejudicial to Noteholders compared with the initial terms of the Proposal and Solicitation, as more fully described in the Memorandum.
