A capital market transaction may follow, subject to, among other things, prevailing market conditions.
In connection with the contemplated transaction, Genova invites the holders of the Company’s outstanding bonds 2020/2024 with ISIN SE0014808820 (the "Outstanding Bonds”) to participate in a tender offer in which the Company will repurchase any and all Outstanding Bonds for cash (the “Tender Offer”) at a price of 102.25 per cent. of the nominal amount for the Outstanding Bonds plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Outstanding Bonds will be repurchased subject to the terms described in the tender information document dated 27 October 2023 (the ”Tender Information Document”).
Holders of Outstanding Bonds who accept the Tender Offer may be eligible to receive a priority in the allocation of the New Green Bonds, subject to the terms set out in the Tender Information Document. The Tender Offer is conditional upon the consummation of the issue of the New Green Bonds. The Tender Offer expires upon book close of the book building process for the New Green Bonds, unless extended, re-opened, withdrawn or terminated at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company will announce the expiration date for the Tender Offer in connection with the opening of the book building process for the New Green Bonds.
The Company has also today sent a conditional notice of early redemption to all holders of the Outstanding Bonds. All Outstanding Bonds will be redeemed early in accordance with the terms and conditions for the Outstanding Bonds, conditional upon a successful issue of the New Green Bonds.
