Rallye, Foncière Euris and Euris announce an agreement with their banks on all their derivatives transactions and the extension of the observation period
Following the authorization of the insolvency judge (juge-commissaire), Foncière Euris announces the entry into force today of agreements entered into with certain financial institutions (the Restructuring Agreements) regarding the restructuring of the terms and conditions of all its derivatives transactions, mainly structured in the form of prepaid forward and equity swaps as well as options sales, entered into between Foncière Euris and these financial institutions. Rallye and Euris also announced today the entry into force of similar agreements at their level (see press releases of Rallye and Finatis).
The Restructuring Agreements cover derivatives transactions representing a total exposure of 84.8 million euros (net of cash-collateral assigned to payment) as of today, secured by pledges over 9.5 million Rallye shares, i.e. 18.2% of the share capital.
The principles provided for in the Restructuring Agreements are as follows:
Foncière Euris acknowledges the application of the derogatory regime of Articles L. 211-36 to L. 211-40 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), which allows the termination, netting, and exercise of security despite of the opening of insolvency proceedings;
all or part of the Relevant Financial Institutions may, if applicable, trigger the early repayment of the derivatives transactions or demand payment of their claims under the derivatives transactions and exercise the related security interests in the following main cases of default:
As part of the Restructuring Agreements, Foncière Euris has agreed to withdraw of the ongoing legal proceedings against Société Générale, which followed the appropriation by this institution of 1,680,396 Rallye shares as part of the exercise of its pledge (see press release dated 12 July 2019).
Foncière Euris also announces it has obtained an extension of the observation period of the safeguard proceedings opened to its benefit for a period of 6 months.
Foncière Euris confirms its objective to obtain the approval of its safeguard plans by the Court by the end of the first quarter of 2020 at the latest.
