Stop Loss? No, Thanks!!!
Caro Researcher, anche per i bondholders in euro, non se ne esce... mi spiace...
Concurrently with the exchange offers, we are soliciting consents (the “consent solicitations”) from the holders of old notes to amend (the “proposed amendments”) the terms of the debt instruments that govern each series of old notes. Under these proposed amendments (a) the material covenants and events of default other than the obligation to pay principal and interest on the old notes would be removed and (b) an early call option (the “call option”) would be added in each series of non-USD old notes (as defined below), which we would exercise to redeem any non-tendered non-USD old notes for the exchange consideration offered pursuant to the exchange offers (i.e., 225 shares of GM common stock per 1,000 U.S. dollar equivalent of principal amount of non-USD old notes). Except for holders who tender non-USD old notes prior to the date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective, holders may not tender their old notes pursuant to the exchange offers without delivering consents to the proposed amendments, and holders may not deliver consents to the proposed amendments pursuant to the consent solicitations without tendering their old notes.
La frase riportata è chiarita nel suo senso nella esposizione alle pagg. 17 ss del prospetto: è vero che tu come bondholder, nel momento in cui sei chiamato ad aderire all'offerta per i non US bonds, non sei automaticamente vincolato ad accettare anche di inserire la call anticipata quando consegni i titoli all'offerta, e tuttavia i bondholders sono poi chiamati ad acconsentire all'inserimento della call per la redemption anticipata pari condizioni nall'ambito di un'assemblea degli obbligazionisti in prima e poi in seconda convocazione.
Il quorum di partecipazione e di voto è dei due terzi del capitale obbligazionario in prima convocazione e della metà in seconda convocazione e, se raggiunto, viene inserita una call che viene esercitata immediatamente dopo la sua approvazione, consentendo il richiamo dell'intera classe di bond e vanificando l'holdout.
Assumendo che non si raggiungano queste maggioranze e non si inserisca la call, la classe di bond non US non può essere richiamata (è per questo che si precisa comunque che non puoi consegnare i bond all'offerta senza aver anche approvato la call anticipata, e viceversa, se approvi la call anticipata devi anche consegnare i bond all'offerta) e ciò concorre al possibile non raggiungimento di quel 90% del totale di debito obbligazionario aderente all'offerta richiesto affinché essa sia accettata.
Mi viene da pensare che se in queste assemblee non si raggiungono le maggioranze richieste, quella classe di bond non può essere richiamata e finisce nella quota delle mancate adesioni allo swap, concorrendo a far sì che non si raggiunga il 90%.
Consent Solicitations for Non-USD Old
Notes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Concurrently with the exchange offers, we are soliciting consents
(which pursuant to the debt instruments governing the non-USD old
notes will constitute proxies) of holders of the requisite aggregate
principal amount outstanding of each series of non-USD old notes, to
be exercised at a meeting of noteholders or an adjourned meeting of
noteholders (each as described below), as the case may be, of each
such series, approving certain amendments to the debt instruments
governing such series of non-USD old notes, including the
(a) addition of a call option in such series of non-USD old notes and
(b) removal of substantially all material affirmative and negative
covenants and events of default other than those relating to the
obligation to pay principal and interest on such series of non-USD old
notes. The call option will provide that outstanding non-USD old
notes of each series may be redeemed at any time at the option of GM
or GM Nova Scotia, as the case may be, in return for the exchange
consideration offered pursuant to the exchange offers (
i.e., 225 shares
of GM common stock per 1,000 U.S. dollar equivalent of principal
amount of non-USD old notes). In addition, (a) GM will pay, in cash,
accrued interest on the Euro old notes called for redemption pursuant
to the call option and (b) GM Nova Scotia will pay, in cash, accrued
interest on the old GM Nova Scotia notes called for redemption
pursuant to the call option, in each case from and including the most
recent interest payment date to, but not including, the redemption
date, which is expected to be the settlement date. We intend to
exercise the call option in respect of all non-USD old notes not
tendered in the exchange offers immediately upon the effectiveness of
the proposed amendments to the debt instruments governing such
non-USD old notes, if adopted. From and after the time that we
exercise the call option on any series of non-USD old notes, (a) such
notes shall be deemed to be discharged, (b) such notes will not be
transferable and (c) holders of such notes will have no further rights
in respect of those notes other than receipt of the exchange
consideration and payment in cash of accrued but unpaid interest on
such notes.
In connection with the proposed amendments to the debt instruments
governing the non-USD old notes, we will issue, not less than 21 days
in advance, notice of a first meeting of holders of each series of
non-USD old notes. At such meeting, if (a) holders of two-thirds of
the aggregate principal amount outstanding of such series of
non-USD old notes are present and so vote to approve (or in respect
of which proxies have been tendered) an extraordinary resolution will
be passed to add the call option in such series of non-USD old notes
and, (b) holders of more than one-half of the aggregate principal
amount outstanding of such series of non-USD old notes are present
and so vote to approve (or in respect of which proxies have been
tendered), an extraordinary resolution will be passed to approve the
removal of substantially all material affirmative and negative
covenants and events of default other than the obligation to pay
principal and interest on such series of non-USD old notes. All
extraordinary resolutions passed with respect to a series of non-USD
old notes will apply to all non-USD old notes of such series, including
those not tendered pursuant to the exchange offers for the non-USD
old notes. If the relevant quorums necessary to add the call option
and/or approve the other proposed amendments are not achieved at
the first meeting in respect of one or more series of non-USD old
notes, a notice will be issued for an adjourned meeting of holders of
each such series of non-USD old notes, which will take place at least
14 days after the first meeting, where, if holders of more than
one-half of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of such series
are present and so vote to approve (or in respect of which proxies
have been tendered) the extraordinary resolutions to add the call
option and to approve the other proposed amendments will be passed
in respect of such series of non-USD old notes.
Except for holders who tender non-USD old notes prior to the date on
which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is
declared effective, a holder of non-USD old notes may not (a) tender its
non-USD old notes pursuant to the relevant exchange offer without
consenting to the proposed amendments or (b) consent to the proposed
amendments pursuant to the consent solicitations without tendering its
non-USD old notes pursuant to the relevant exchange offer for the
non-USD old notes. Holders who tender non-USD old notes prior to the
date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part is declared effective will not be deemed to have consented to the
proposed amendments.
Semplifico:
1) se i non-us bondholder non approvano l'inserimento della call.....i possessori dei bond in euro se li possono tenere e non sono obbligati ad offrirle
2) il 90% delle adesioni si può raggiungere anche solo con i bond in USD....i bond in euro in circolazione sono 2,5 mld di euro....l'adesione dei usd-bond deve essere quasi totalitaria.....
3) IMHO, andra dritta in CH11.....al 99%.
P.S.: e di cosa ti devi dispiacere? Che non se ne esce?
