Update on the launch of the restructuring of the Punch A and
Punch B securitisations
On 18 July 2014, Punch announced that covenant waivers had been
approved in respect of the Punch A and Punch B securitisations.
These waivers are subject to various conditions, including that a
restructuring implementing the proposals announced by the Company
on 26 June 2014 is launched by 11 August 2014. This condition is
subject to a cure period of up to 10 business days.
Punch announces that the launch of the restructuring has been
delayed, as some additional time is required to conclude
discussions between certain stakeholders, and for the documentation
to be finalised. The Board believes that a restructuring on terms
which are broadly similar to those announced on 26 June 2014 can be
launched within the 10 business day cure period.
However, there can be no certainty that a restructuring will be
launched within this period. The Board continues to believe that a
consensual restructuring is required to avoid a near-term default
in the Punch A and Punch B securitisations, which would have
material adverse consequences for all stakeholders and, in
particular, for shareholders.
