Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation
(EU) No 596/2014
DEMIRE reaches commercial agreement with a further group of bondholders
regarding the restructuring of the 2019/2024 bond
Langen, 1 July 2024. Today, a further significant group of holders ("Further
Bondholders") of the unsecured corporate bond (ISIN: DE000A2YPAK1) issued by
DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) ("Company")
with a maturity date of October 15, 2024 and a currently outstanding
principal amount of EUR 499 million ("Bond") have agreed to support the
financial restructuring as outlined in the Company's ad hoc announcement
dated June 5, 2024 ("Transaction") and as agreed between the Company and a
certain group of bondholders ("Ad hoc Group") in a lock-up agreement
("Lock-up
Agreement"), subject to the following limited amendments: (i) payment of an
additional 2% fee by the Company to bondholders in the event that the
Company does not manage to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the
Bond by EUR 50,000,000.00 in 2026 with such reduction required to be made at
par value; (ii) an increase of the PIK interest in 2027 from 1% to 3% if the
Bond has not been repaid in full by the end of 2026 (such amendments, the
"Proposed
Amendments"). On that basis, the Further Bondholders have furthermore agreed
to participate in the backstop of the tender offer as outlined in the ad hoc
publication of the Company on 5 June 2024.
The Company will now approach the Ad hoc Group to request an amendment to
the Lock-up Agreement and their consent to implement the Transaction with
the Proposed Amendments. The Company is optimistic that the Ad hoc Group
will consent to the Proposed Amendments, since they further improve the
terms of the reinstated bond. Upon amendment of the Lock-up Agreement, the
Company intends to convene a vote without a meeting in accordance with the
German Bond Act (SchVG) shortly to implement the Transaction with the
Proposed Amendment with the support of both, the Further Bondholders and the
Ad hoc Group, which together hold, directly or indirectly, bonds
representing more than 90% of the total outstanding nominal amount of the
bond.
