Nel pomeriggio, mando questa mail all'IR di A.T.U. Se ci sono cose da aggiungere/correggere/togliere, fatemelo sapere
Dear A.T.U Auto-Teile Unger Handels GmbH&Co. KG
We are a small group of italian subordinated note holders (XS0202043898) since long time and recently we had the pleasure to read the preliminary results for financial year 2011. But inside the document we didn’t find any news about the way to refinance the maturing debt (bonds) due October 2014. The question is very important because we see that the notes are trading less than 50% of nominal face value. Rumors on web reported also that the Company is planning to reduce part of the 592,9 bond’s debt stock through a swap into equity and this operation will affect above all the subordinated notes. So, considering our investment, we have some questions for You:
How the Company intend to refinance the whole debt (subordinated and unsubordinated) maturing on 2014?
How A.T.U could reduce the financial expenses (interest) and high leverage over the stock debt this year?
We know that few years ago A.T.U Auto bought back almost 10 millions of subordinated notes reducing the outstanding from 150 mln to 140 mln euro. Have you mind to reduce more the subordinated debt in 2012 using the increasing cash flow position?
Is that true that the main shareholder KKR intend to promote an IPO before the 2014?
Well, we thank you in advance for the answers
With kindest regards
Perfetto
