Un passaggio di S&P
(...) SEAT is mostly an Italian group (90% of EBITDA is generated in Italy), with an Italian domicile and Italian management. However, the recent restructuring has been implemented under the U.K. scheme of arrangement. In our opinion, any possible second round of restructuring is likely to be implemented under similar conditions. SEAT is a sizable cross-border entity with a fairly complex capital structure as a listed entity with both senior secured bank facilities and senior secured notes. In our view, in a distressed situation, SEAT is likely to seek a consensual restructuring and benefit from using the U.K. scheme of arrangement, which allows the implementation of a financial restructuring with a lower creditor approval threshold (75%) than under the Italian framework. This could avoid a lengthy process that, given the hurdles to reach a unanimous consensus, could possibly lead to a liquidation scenario. In such scenario, which is not our base case, recovery prospects for creditors would be materially lower (...)
