Assessment of the SdK
From our point of view, the intended restructuring is little
small investor friendly. Because every previous bondholder has to subscribe to the New Money Senior Bonds against more money in order to also receive Reinstated Elevated Bonds. Without new money, current bondholders only receive the reinstated bonds as well as unsecured and subordinated junior bonds. In addition, the offered interest rate of 6.75% p.a. for the secured bonds or 6% - 10% for the unsecured subordinate bond is questionable, since the secured bonds are likely to entail significantly lower default risks.
The company had published in an earlier report that the bondholders would have to expect an insolvency rate of around 6% in an insolvency liquidation scenario, without further substantiating this. Assuming that this estimate is close to correct, restructuring would be the more advantageous option for bondholders, even if they do not want to provide more money for the new bonds.
Should the proposals for decisions by means of the notified written procedures
necessary majority, we would clearly advise you to pay the New Money
Senior Bonds to acquire the Reinstated Elevated Bonds on a pro rata basis
Receive.
