Korian Announces Its Final Terms of the Unsubordinated Undated Bonds Convertible into New Shares and/or Exchangeable for Existing Shares (ODIRNANE) fOr an Amount of Approximately € 240 Million
Regulatory News:
Korian (Paris:KORI) (the "Company”), the European leader in care and support services for the elderly, announces the success of its offering of undated unsubordinated unsecured bonds convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares (Obligations à Durée Indéterminée à option de Remboursement en Numéraire et/ou en Actions Nouvelles et/ou Existantes - ODIRNANE) (the "Bonds”), without preferential subscription rights, for a nominal amount of approximately € 240 million.
The issue of the Bonds will enable Korian to fund general corporate purposes of the Company and to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet structure.
The Company also announces the signing of the issuance of an undated hybrid unlisted bond to an investor (the "Hybrid Instrument”). The Hybrid Instrument will not give access at any time to the Company’s shares and will also aim at strengthening its balance sheet structure.
The total amount of the Bonds and the Hybrid Instrument stands at approximately € 300 million.
The Bonds will be issued at par and the nominal value per bond has been set at € 40.21, representing a conversion premium of 35.0% over the Company's reference share price1.
The holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders”) will be granted a conversion/exchange right of the Bonds into new and/or existing Korian’s shares with an initial conversion/exchange ratio of one share per Bond, subject to future adjustments.
The settlement of the Bonds is expected to take place on July 3rd, 2017.
Interests
From the issue date until December 31st, 2022, the Bonds will bear interest at a nominal annual rate of 2.50% payable semi-annually in arrear on January 1st and July 1st of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), and for the first time on January 1st, 2018, subject to any interest payment suspension.
From January 1st, 2023, the Bonds will bear interest at a rate expressed on an annual basis equal to the 6-month Euribor rate increased by 900 basis points, payable semi-annually in arrear on each Interest Payment Date and, as the case may be, for the first time on July 1st, 2023, subject to any interest payment suspension.
In the event of a change of control, the annual rate for the fixed coupon or the floating rate coupon, as the case may be, will be increased by 500 basis points.
On any Interest Payment Date, the Company may decide, subject to certain conditions, to suspend payment of interest in respect of the Bonds for the relevant interest period, subject to having notified Bondholders at least 15 calendar days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date if, during the 12-month period preceding such Interest Payment Date, no payment of a dividend or interim dividend in respect of the Korian’s shares has been decided or paid (an "Optional Interest Payment Date”). All interest in respect of the Bonds that is not paid at an Optional Interest Payment Date will constitute "Deferred Interest", as defined below.
Any amount of Deferred Interest will bear interest (to the full extent permitted by law) from the interest payment suspension date for any period exceeding 12 months at the interest rate applicable to the Bonds at the relevant period. The amount of accrued interest (the "Additional Interest") in respect of Deferred Interest will become due and payable in the same manner as Deferred Interest.
Deferred Interest (as well as the corresponding amount of Additional Interest) may be paid in full or in part at any time at the Company's option, but all Deferred Interest (as well as the corresponding amount of Additional Interest) in respect of all the Bonds will become payable in full in specific cases, including if the Company decides the payment of a dividend or of an interim dividend or upon redemption of all outstanding Bonds.
Redemption of the Bonds
The Bonds are undated, subject to cases of early redemption at the Company's option, and will only be repayable in the event of the liquidation of the Company or upon the expiry of the term indicated in the Company's by-laws (unless extended in accordance with applicable legislation).
The Company may, at its option proceed with early redemption of all, but not some, of the Bonds at par plus accrued interest, Deferred Interest and, as the case may be, Additional Interest (the "Early Redemption Price”):
- for the first time on January 1st, 2023, and then on each Interest Payment Date;
- in case of a change of control;
- from January 29th, 2021 until January 1st, 2023, if the arithmetic average, calculated over any period of 20 consecutive trading days falling within any period of 40 consecutive trading days preceding the publication of the early redemption notice, of the daily products of the Company’s closing trading share price on Euronext Paris and the conversion/exchange ratio in effect on each trading day during such period exceeds 130% of the nominal value of the Bonds;
- and if the total number of the Bonds outstanding is less than 10% of the number of Bonds originally issued.
Conversion/Exchange rights
Bondholders may exercise their conversion/exchange right at any time from the issue date (inclusive) until the 18th trading day (exclusive) preceding the first of the two following dates: January 1st, 2023, or, as the case may be, the date set for any early redemption.
Upon exercise of their conversion/exchange right, Bondholders will receive, at the option of the Company, either an amount in cash, or a combination of cash and new and/or existing Korian shares, or only new and/or existing shares.
The number of new and/or existing shares to be delivered to the Bondholders, as the case may be, will depend on the conversion/exchange ratio of the Bonds, which will be adjusted in certain customary cases for this type of securities, including in case of any dividend payment by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no adjustment for the € 0.60 dividend per share detached from the Share on June 28th, 2017 and to be paid on July 21st, 2017.
Considering the offering of the Bonds for an amount of € 239,999,979.44 million represented by 5,968,664 Bonds and a nominal value of € 40.21 per Bond, maximum dilution would represent 7.44% of the outstanding share capital, should the Company decide to exclusively deliver new shares upon conversion.
