The Net Financial Position of the Company at November 30, 2021 amounts to Euro 115.9 million and is indicated below:

(In thousands of Euro)

NET FINANCIAL POSITION 30/11/2021 30/06/2021 Variation
Current bank loans and borrowings (73.300) (68.399) (4.901)

Other non-current financial assets including intercompany 10.000 9.967 33
Total Net financial position (115.985) (110.797) (5.188)

The main changes in the Group Net Financial Position as of November 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 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 decrease is of about 3 Euro million. The decrease of current loans and other current financial liabilities is of about 7.5 Euro million.

The Net Financial Position of the financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2021 and November 30, 2021 includes the partial write-down of intercompany financial receivables; this effect does not generate any impact in the consolidated Net Financial Position.

It should be noted that:

  • 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 31, 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. Furthermore, on the basis of preliminary information on the Company's performance in the financial year ended at December 31, 2020, and further analyses currently underway on the Company's prospects in the current market context, which is strongly influenced by the effects caused globally by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, there appears to be a general slowdown in the achievement of the objectives identified in the 2018-2022 business plan, which at present do not seem to be entirely achievable within the timeframe considered;
  • 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 "Updated Business

Plan"). 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;

  • 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 05 August 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. The Standstill Agreement also regulates new utilizations during this period of existing

bonding facilities, in order to support the business through the acquisition of new contracts and the continuation of existing ones in line with the provisions of the updated business plan. According to the Standstill Agreement, the updated business plan has been subject to an independent business review by a primary advisor;

  • on 22 December 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, which include, among the other things (i) a capital strengthening to be implemented through a cash capital increase of Euro 20 million and a debt-to-equity swap of Euro 60 million of bank debt, (ii) the rescheduling of medium/long-term credit lines until 2026, with modification of the relevant financial covenants, and (iii) the extension to 2026 of the maturity of the 2021-2024 so-called minibond. Togheter with the financial restructuring proposal, a request was submitted to the financing banks in order to extend from 31 December 2021 to 30 April 2022, the duration of the Standstill Agreement. The Company intends to continue the discussions with the financing banks and the main shareholders, with the intention of defining a financial restructuring proposal shared by all stakeholders and consistent with the strategic plan objectives defined by the management. The contents of such proposal, once agreed, will be promptly disclosed to the market.

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.

The Group Net Financial Postition at November 30, 2021 amounts to Euro 256.5 million and is reported below:
