Ekosem-Agrar AG provides an update on the restructuring As expected, no legal action for annulment filed against bond restructuring The implementation of the restructuring is still subject to the approval of the financing banks Constructive discussions to date
Walldorf, 27 August 2024 – Ekosem-Agrar AG, the German holding company of Russian milk producer EkoNiva Group, informs the noteholders about the status of the bond restructuring: The management is currently working in close coordination with the parties involved on the technical implementation of the restructuring of the corporate bonds 2012/2027 (ISIN: DE000A1R0RZ5) and 2019/2029 (ISIN: DE000A2YNR08). In addition, constructive discussions are ongoing with the potential equity investors regarding their participation, as well as with the financing banks, whose approval of the overall restructuring is a prerequisite for the completion of the bond restructuring. As expected, no legal actions for annulment have been filed against the resolutions of the noteholders' meetings of 3 and 4 June 2024. The restructuring mainly consists of the sale and transfer of the outstanding bonds, including accrued interest, at a purchase price of EUR 300.00 per bond with a nominal value of EUR 1,000.00. The restructuring of the bonds was necessary in the context of the planned merger of the German holding company with the operating business, which is exclusively based in Russia. The company will inform noteholders as soon as further progress is made in the implementation of the bond restructuring.   About Ekosem-Agrar Ekosem-Agrar AG, Walldorf, is the German holding company of the Ekoniva Group, one of Russia's largest agricultural companies.
