The main changes in the Group Net Financial Position as of August 31, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022 are due to the flow generated by operating activities for the payment of trade payables to suppliers of goods and services, for the collection of trade receivables and for the payment of financial payables to leasing companies. The cash and cash equivalent increase is of about 0.8 Euro million. The decrease of current loans and other current financial liabilities is of about 1.1 Euro million.

The Net Financial Position of the financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2022 and August 31st, 2022 includes the partial write-down of intercompany financial receivables; this effect does not generate any impact in the consolidated Net Financial Position.

  • during 2020, the Company has completed the capital strengthening along with the restructuring of the financial debt under the agreement ex article 182 bis IBL signed with the main financing banks of the Group on August 5, 2019 (the "Restructuring Agreement") and approved by decree of the Court of Appeal of Bologna on January 10, 2020. In the context of the overall financial measures, according to the Restructuring Agreement, the financial indebtedness of the Company, as well as of the subsidiaries of Trevi S.p.A. and Soilmec S.p.A., has been consolidated and rescheduled for the majority until December 31st, 2024 and the interest rate applicable to the same has been reduced;
  • on January 31, 2021, the Company informed the market that, on the basis of the preliminary information available at that date in relation to management performance in year 2020, strongly influenced by the negative effects caused globally by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, affected the Group's activity, in order to deal with the foreseeable failure to comply with one of the financial covenants provided for under the Restructuring Agreement in particular the ratio of net financial debt to consolidated recurring EBITDA;
  • on February 24, 2021, Trevifin informed the market about the start of interlocutions with banks adherents to the Restructuring Agreement identifying the necessary changes to existing agreements to cope with the foreseeable failure to comply with one of the financial covenants provided for under the Restructuring Agreement on the occasion of the next approval of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2020;
  • on April 23, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the updated business plan 2021-2024 taking into consideration the slowdown in the financial year ended at December 31, 2020 and Trevi Group's prospects in the current market context, which is strongly influenced by the effects caused globally by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. The business plan has been revised both in the quantitative objectives and in its time projection, until the year 2024, in accordance with the original strategic lines and confirming the achievement of the initial recovery goals, though a longer period of time compared to the original forecasts. This new plan was subsequently updated, initially, in order to incorporate the accounting data as at June 30, 2021 and, subsequently, in order to extend the related time frame to the period 2022- 2026 as well as in order to take into account some aspects, including the performances recorded in the year 2021 and some prudential elements in the plan years (the "Updated Business Plan");
  • on July 14, 2021, The Board of Directors of the Company approved a moratorium agreement and standstill ("Standstill Agreement"), at the end of the negotiation process with banks. The Standstill Agreement signed on August 5,2021, provides the suspension until December 31, 2021, of some of the original Restructuring Agreement obligations, including the obligations to meet the financial covenants on the next test dates and the obligation to repay certain instalments debts falling due the relevant period. According to the Standstill Agreement, the updated business plan has been subject to an independent business review by a primary advisor;

  • on December 22, 2021, in the context of the above mentioned discussions, the guidelines of a possible new financial restructuring proposal were illustrated to the Group's financing banks, together with a request submitted to the financing banks in order to extend from December 31, 2021 to April 30, 2022, the duration of the Standstill Agreement. However, the parties have continued the relevant negotiations in relation to the new financial restructuring proposal, and are operating under a "de facto" standstill regime, as evidenced by the fact that the financing banks not only have not to date exercised (nor expressed their intention to exercise) the remedies provided for in the Restructuring Agreement, but in addition to pursuing the aforementioned negotiations on the new hypothesis of financial restructuring proposal, they continued to support the Group by not reducing the utilisation of the credit lines and by allowing the issuance of certain guarantees identified as urgent by the Company in the context of the projects to which the Group companies are party, and by continuing to make cash credit lines available;

  • on June 29, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company examined and approved the draft separate and consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31st , 2021;
  • on August 11, 2022, the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company approved the separate financial statement at December 31, 2021, and appointed the new Board of Directors for the three-year period 2022-2024;
  • on September 29, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company examined and approved the Trevi Group's interim financial report for the first half of 2022;
  • concurrently, with the support of advisors, the management has continued the negotiations both with the lending banks and main shareholders aimed at defining the new financial restructuring proposal. The latest version of the financial restructuring proposal, approved on September 29, 2022 (the "New Financial Restructuring Proposal"), provides, in a nutshell:
  • a) its implementation under an agreement based on a certified recovery plan pursuant to Article 56 Business Crisis and Insolvency Code (corresponding to the former 67, paragraph III, lett. (d) of the Italian Bankruptcy Law) (the "New Agreement");
  • b) a cash capital increase with right of first refusal to be offered to shareholders for a total of Euro 25 million (but in no case exceeding the amount of debt subject to conversion), fully guaranteed pro rata by CDP Equity Investimenti S.p.A. and Polaris Capital Management LLC;
  • c) a capital increase reserved to the financing banks, to be subscribed by converting bank debt into ordinary shares of the Company, for a minimum equivalent amount of debt of Euro 20 million, with the option for the financing banks to convert an amount higher than this minimum amount;

  • d) the subordination and deferment up to June 30, 2027 of a portion of the bank debt up to a maximum of Euro 40 million, leaving the financing banks the choice between conversion and subordination of the related bank debt;

  • e) the extension of the final maturity date of the medium/long-term debt up to December 31, 2026, with the introduction of an amortisation plan starting from 2023;
  • f) the granting/confirmation of unsecured bonding lines for the execution of the Updated Business Plan;
  • g) the review of financial covenants in line with the objectives of the Updated Business Plan;
  • h) the extension to 2026 of the maturity date of the minibond denominated «Trevi-Finanziaria Industriale S.p.A. 2014 – 2024" issued by Trevifin in 2014 for Euro 50 million;
  • as to the timeline for the implementation of the transaction, it is reasonable to assume that the decision-making processes of the financing banks will allow the New Agreement to be signed by the first half of November.

It should also be noted that, the accounting standard IFRS 9 has been applied on the residual portion of the financial indebtedness following the capital increase implemented on May 2020 through the debt-to-equity swap of banks' financial credits for a total amount of Euro 284,1 million, as well as following the repayment provided by the financial restructuring plan. In such respect, it should be noted that, following the failure to comply with the financial covenants provided under the Restructuring Agreement at December 31, 2020, in accordance with IFRS9, bank debts covered by the agreement have been represented in the Net Financial Position with a short term maturity, while the original deadline December 31, 2024 remains unvaried.

b) The following are the Company and the Group's overdue payables analysed by nature (financial, commercial, tax, social security and employees) and any related creditors' reaction initiatives (payment reminders, injunctions, suspensions of supplies, etc.).
