Victoria PLC (LSE: VCP), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, announced today that it has commenced a voluntary exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") for its €250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3¾% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (of which €166.6 million is outstanding) (the "2028 Notes"). Eligible Holders (as defined below) may tender their 2028 Notes for newly issued Second Priority Senior Secured PIK Notes due 2031 of the Company (the "New Notes") at a significant premium to the current trading price of the 2028 Notes.
Exchange Offer
Under the Exchange Offer, the New Notes will:
- bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and interest will be paid-in-kind;
- have a six-year term from the date of completion, maturing in 2031 with a springing maturity ahead of any outstanding 2028 Notes; and
- be secured by various collateral with a lien, provided that, to the extent any enforcement of collateral occurs, the New Notes will rank junior to the super senior facilities and the Company's outstanding 9.875% senior secured notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"), but senior to the Original Notes (as defined below), including the 2028 Notes, with respect to the distribution of such proceeds.
