(*) | The Debentures are classified as current liabilities (see note 7 b2). |
(1) | Pursuant to PC’s Restructuring Plan, PC will assign 75% of the net proceeds received from the sale or refinancing of any of its assets as early repayment. |
(2) | Approved amendment to an early prepayment term under the Restructuring |
PC has implemented the restructuring plan that was approved by the Dutch court on July 9, 2014 (the “Restructuring Plan”).
Under the Restructuring Plan, principal payments under the notes that originally due in the years 2013 to 2015 were deferred for a period of four and a half years, and principal payments originally due in 2016 and 2017 were deferred for a period of one year (the “Extended Repayment Schedule”).
The Restructuring Plan further provides that, if PC does not prepay an aggregate amount of at least NIS 434 million on the principal of the notes on or before December 1, 2016 (the “Early Prepayment”), the principal payments due under the Extended Repayment Schedule will be advanced by one year (the “Accelerated Repayment Schedule”).
On November 29, 2016, PC’s note holders approved to a postponement of the Early Prepayment date by up to four months and the reduction of the total amount of the required Early Prepayments to at least NIS 382 million (a reduction of 12% on the original amount).
In addition, PC agreed to pay to its Noteholders, on March 31, 2018, a one-time consent fee in the amount of approximately EUR 488 thousand (NIS 2 million) (which is equal to 0.25% from the Company’s outstanding debt under the Notes at that time) (the “Consent Fee”). The consent Fee has been paid to PC’s Noteholders on a pro rata basis.
During first three months 2017, PC paid to its bondholders a total amount of NIS 191.7 million as an early redemption. Upon such payments, the PC complied with the Early Prepayment Term (early redemption at the total sum of at least NIS 382,000,000) and thus obtained a deferral of one year for the remaining contractual obligations of the bonds.
In addition to the above, the following terms were approved by the Note holders:
a. | Casaradio proceeds - If PC shall sell the Casaradio project located in Romania (hereinafter: the “Project”) to a third party, including by way of selling its holdings in any of the entities through which the Company holds the Project (and said sale shall be carried out before the full repayment of the debentures and until no later than December 31, 2019 (“Final Date”), for an amount which exceeds EUR 45 million net (.e. after brokerage fees (if any), taxes, fees, levies or any other obligatory payment due to any authority in respect to the said sale) which shall actually be received by PC, then the holders of notes shall be eligible for a one-time payment (which shall come in addition to the principal and interest payments in accordance with the repayment schedule), in certain amounts specified in tranches. |
b. | Registering of Polish bonds for trade - PC has committed to undertake best efforts to admit the Polish bonds for trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchanges and proceeding in this respect are ongoing. |
(3) | Settlement agreement with Bondholders of Israeli Series of Bonds |
In January 2018, a settlement agreement was signed by and among the PC and the two Israeli Series of Bonds (“Settlement Agreement”). In the Settlement Agreement it was agreed, inter alia, to approve:
● | New repayment ratios between the two Israeli Series of Bonds (new ratio: Bond A- 39% Bond B- 61%); |
● | An increase in the level of the mandatory early repayments from 75% to 78% of the relevant net income; |
● | New repayment schedule; |
● | An increase in the compensation to be paid to the Bondholders in the event of successful disposal of Casa Radio Project; |
● | A waiver of claims to the PC and its directors and officers; and |
● | To waive the request for publication of quarterly financial reports by the Company. |
As a result of settlement agreement signing, Series A Bondholders withdraw their request for immediate repayment.
It is clarified that the Settlement Agreement is a separate agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the PC’s restructuring plan, and as such has no effect on the Polish Bondholders.
On January 31, 2018 the PC paid the bondholders a total amount of principal and interest of EUR 38,487 thousands.
(4) | The net cash flow received by the PC following an exit or raising new financial indebtedness (except if taken for the purpose of purchase, investment or development of real estate asset) or refinancing of real estate assets after the full repayment of the asset’s related debt that was realized or in respect of a loan paid in case of debt recycling (and in case where the exit occurred in the subsidiary - amounts required to repay liabilities to the creditors of that subsidiary) and direct expenses in respect of the asset (any sale and tax costs, as incurred) , will be used for repayment of the accumulated interest till that date in all of the series (in case of an exit which is not one of the four shopping centers only 50% of the interest) and 78% of the remaining cash (following the interest payment) will be used for an early repayment of the close principal payments for each of the series (A, B, Polish) each in accordance with its relative share in the deferred debt. Such prepayment will be real repayment and not in bond purchase. |
Mandatory repayment of subsequent to the reporting date (without early repayments):
As a result of the non-substantial modifications of terms regarding the approved amendment described above, PC calculated a new effective interest rate as follows:
EUR | NIS | ||||||||
2018 | 24,175 | 100,398 | |||||||
2019 | 84,568 | 351,210 | |||||||
2020 | 14,417 | 59,874 | |||||||
