Branicks

Branicks has signed lock‑up agreements with a majority of the bond and Schuldschein creditors to enable an extension and comprehensive restructuring of its financial liabilities. Key elements are new bridge financings totaling EUR 95 million (EUR 35m from Branicks, EUR 60m from VIB), which will be converted into long‑term new money; a conversion of the existing bond and SSD/NSV into senior secured instruments (EUR 258.8m and EUR 116.2m); and the issuance of subordinated instruments (in total e.g. EUR 151.5m and EUR 68m). Implementation is subject to conditions, including the resignation of the supervisory board chair and the appointment of Josef Schultheis as CRO; senior secured instruments mature on 30.9.2030 with 7.5% p.a., subordinated instruments mature on 30.9.2038 with 15% p.a. (PIK option), and a one‑off subordination fee of EUR 15m. » More on finanzen.net
