Consent request from Ineos
Ineos needs acceptance from the bond holders
in connection with the joint venture with
PetroChina which aims to initiate cooperation
within the business unit Ineos Refing. Ineos has
therefore issued a consent requesting investors
to accept the company’s transfer of activities
within Refining to a 50-50 joint venture with
PetroChina and application of the proceeds to
refinance the company’s senior loan facilities,
including the company’s Term Loan A, Term
Loan B, Term Loan C and Term Loan D.
The refinancing implies that the company’s
current senior loan facilities will be replaced by
a new senior loan facility. However, the
refinancing implies that Term Loan D of EUR
650m, currently subordinated to €9.25% 2015,
will be refinanced by a new senior loan facility.
Ineos offers investors in the bond issues €9.25%
2015, $9% 2015, €7.875% 2016 and $8.5%
2016 a consent fee of 2.5 per 1,000 nominal
value. The offer is conditional on investors
accepting the offer not later than 18 March
2011 (JB deadline most likely Wednesday 16
March 2011). We recommend investors to
accept the offer from Ineos and maintain our
BUY recommendation for Ineos €9.25% 2015
and Ineos €7.875% 2016.
