Rosenbauer International AG (the "Company") announces that it has today reached an agreement with its major lenders and promissory note holders on the terms of a multilateral refinancing agreement.
The refinancing agreement has a term until November 3, 2025 and provides in particular that all financial covenants in existing financing agreements for the financial year ending December 31, 2023 will be suspended and redefined for the duration of the refinancing agreement. Furthermore, the refinancing agreement provides for repayments of claims by lenders and promissory note holders (i) from funds generated by the capital increase in 2024 as already communicated with a previous ad hoc announcement, datedFebruary 12, 2024 – at least 3,400,000 new no-par value shares shall be issued following a shareholder resolution, with part of the proceeds amounting to EUR 35 million to be used for repayment – and (ii) from excess cash and cash equivalents (cash sweep) in 2025.
The company's majority shareholder, Rosenbauer Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH (the "BVG"), will support the refinancing by, among other things, approving the granting of authorized capital to the maximum extent at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.
For the term of the refinancing agreement, the company has undertaken to the banks not to propose the distribution of dividends; at the same time, BVG has undertaken to exercise its voting rights in a way to ensure that the company is in a position to comply with its obligations under the refinancing agreement.
The company will provide more details on the capital increase and its exact conditions on time.
