Initiative to gather an ad hoc Bondholders’ Committee
Pursuant to the cancelled Bondholders’ Meeting which was planned to be held 24 March 2020 and as communicated in the Notice to Bondholders issued 16 March 2020, the Trustee did not received sufficient response from Bondholders in order to elect a Bondholders Committee in accordance with the requirements in the Terms and Conditions.
The current situation, and the guidelines set by the Norwegian Authorities considering COVID-19, makes it difficult to arrange for a new Bondholders’ Meeting in order to gather a Bondholders’ Committee. Considering these circumstances, three of the Bondholders have taken the initiative to form an ad-hoc Bondholders’ Committee and requested the Trustee to call for the formation of an ad hoc Bondholders’ Committee.
Pursuant to cl. 18.3 of the Terms and Conditions, a Bondholders’ Committee may enter into discussions with the Issuer and other creditors of the Issuer and by majority decision among its members (i) adopt such procedural rules as it considers appropriate and (ii) prepare proposals and recommendations to the Bondholders. The Bondholders’ Committee may not bind the Bondholders to any agreement or decision. The Trustee shall provide reasonable assistance to the Bondholders’ Committee and participate in its meetings.
Any Bondholders who wish to participate to the ad hoc Bondholders’ Committee, or who has any objection to the formation of an ad hoc Bondholders’ Committee is hereby asked to contact the Trustee by e-mail no later than 8 June 2020.
