SÃO PAULO, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — FS Luxembourg S.à r.l. (the “Issuer“), a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of FS Agrisolutions Indústria de Biocombustíveis Ltda. (the “Guarantor“), announces that it has commenced a solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation“) with respect to its outstanding US$654,176,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.00% senior secured notes due 2025, issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “Notes“), for the adoption of proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments“) to the indenture governing the Notes. The Proposed Amendments seek to, among other matters (i) allow one or more affiliates of the Guarantor to provide a “Guarantee” on the Notes and to become a guarantor of the Issuer’s obligations under the indenture, (ii) amend the definitions of “Parent Entity Expenses” and “Capitalized Leased Obligation,” (iii) make clarifying changes to the definition of “Permitted Investments” and to the exception to the limitation on indebtedness covenant and (iv) amend the clause with respect to “Restricted Payments,” in each case as more fully set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated June 24, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Statement“).
The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Issuer in its sole discretion (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date“).
Only holders of the Notes as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 23, 2022 (such date and time, including as such date and time may be changed by the Issuer, from time to time, the “Record Date“) are entitled to deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments pursuant to the Consent Solicitation. If the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes (the “Required Consents“) validly deliver Consents to the Proposed Amendments on or prior to the Expiration Date and do not validly revoke such Consents prior to the Revocation Deadline (as defined below), it is expected that the Issuer, the Guarantor, the trustee and the collateral agent will execute an amended and restated indenture (the “Amended and Restated Indenture“) effecting the Proposed Amendments (such time, the “Consent Effective Time“). The earlier to occur of the Consent Effective Time and the Expiration Date is referred to as the “Revocation Deadline.” The Amended and Restated Indenture will be effective and operative immediately upon execution thereof as to all Holders at the Consent Effective Time, whether or not a Holder delivered a Consent.
In the event that the Consent Effective Time has occurred, the Issuer will pay in cash, on the settlement date, which is expected to be two business days following the Expiration Date, a consent payment of US$10 per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes that represents the Consents validly delivered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not validly revoked prior to the Revocation Deadline.
The Issuer reserves the right to modify the Statement and the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation or to terminate the Consent Solicitation at any time.
