CREDIT BANK OF MOSCOW (public joint-stock company) ("MKB" or the "Bank") | |
NOTICE OF CONSENT SOLICITATION AND RESPECTIVE MEETING | |
On 27 June 2023, MKB announces the solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") of the holders (the "Noteholders") of the following outstanding notes (the "Notes") issued by, but with limited recourse to, CBOM Finance p.l.c. (the "Issuer") for the sole purpose of financing the corresponding loans to the Bank: | |
№ Title of Security ISIN Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding | |
1. 1. €500,000,000 5.15 per cent. Loan Participation Notes due 2024 (the "CBOM-24 EUR Notes") XS1951067039 (Reg S) XS1951067542 (Rule 144A) €327,228,000 | |
2. 2. €600,000,000 3.100 per cent. Loan Participation Notes due 2026 (the "CBOM-26 EUR Notes") XS2281299763 (Reg S) XS2281299847 (Rule 144A) €600,000,000 | |
The Bank is soliciting consents of the Noteholders to consider and, if thought fit, pass an extraordinary resolution under each of the CBOM-24 EUR Notes and the CBOM-26 EUR Notes (jointly referred to as the "Extraordinary Resolutions") in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 5 (Provisions for Meetings of The Noteholders) of the respective trust deed under such Notes (a "Trust Deed") in each case in order to approve the proposals (the "Proposals") set out in such Extraordinary Resolution, as more particularly described in the consent solicitation memorandum dated 27 June 2023 which relates to the CBOM-24 EUR Notes or the CBOM-26 EUR Notes, as applicable (a "Consent Solicitation Memorandum"). | |
Terms defined in a Trust Deed or a Consent Solicitation Memorandum shall have the same meaning herein unless the context requires otherwise. | |
1. Background | |
(A) The extensive sanctions and other restrictive measures, including the full blocking sanctions, have been introduced by, amongst others, the U.S., the EU and the UK against Russia, the Bank and various Russian entities (such as the National Settlement Depositary). In addition, and as part of the measures to stabilise and support the Russian financial and currency markets, the Competent Russian Authorities have introduced a permit-based system in respect of payments from residents of the Russian Federation to payees in certain jurisdictions. | |
Accordingly, due to the Bank having become a Sanctions Restricted Person, the Bank may not be able to repay interest or principal to the Issuer under the Loan and, consequently, the Issuer would not be able to make an onward payment under the Notes in accordance with the original terms of the Notes. In addition, any payment of interest or principal under the Loan made by the Bank or received from the Issuer or the Bank by the Principal Paying Agent will most likely be blocked, delayed or frozen for an uncertain period of time and, consequently, those funds will not be distributed among the Noteholders. | |
(B) The Bank assures that: | |
(a) notwithstanding the significant costs and expenses it bears in this regard and practical obstacles and difficulties for making payments abroad, it is currently exploring all legal means how to ensure the realisation of equal rights among all Noteholders (both residents and non-residents); and | |
(b) it has sufficient financial resources and will duly perform its payment obligations in relation to the Notes subject to all applicable laws and receipt of all required approvals. | |
(C) In light of the above, the Bank is seeking the Noteholders' approval of each of the Proposals, as set out in more detail the respective Consent Solicitation Memorandum. The Bank believes that if the Proposals are not approved by the Extraordinary Resolutions, then (i) the ongoing interruptions relating to the clearing and settlement infrastructure may continue to restrict payments under the Notes which is likely to prejudice the rights of the Noteholders; and (ii) the Noteholders will not have a trustee which is fully functioning and which could continue to protect the rights and interest of the Noteholders under the Notes in full. | |
2. General | |
Electronic copies of the relevant Consent Solicitation Memorandum and a Voting Instruction can be obtained via application to Limited liability company "Legal Capital Investor Services" acting as information and tabulation agent (the "Information and Tabulation Agent") at mkb@lcpis.ru. A person requesting a copy of the respective Consent Solicitation Memorandum shall make a representation to the Information and Tabulation Agent that it is a Noteholder under the CBOM-24 EUR Notes and the CBOM-26 EUR Notes, as applicable, or is acting in the interests of such a Noteholder. | |
To participate in the Consent Solicitation with respect to the CBOM-24 EUR Notes and the CBOM-26 EUR Notes, as applicable, and consent to the respective Proposals, a Noteholder should deliver, or procure delivery on its behalf, a valid Voting Instruction voting in favour of, or against, the Proposals, to the Information and Tabulation Agent via e-mail at mkb@lcpis.ru by no later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on 18 July 2023. | |
Only Noteholders who hold the Notes as of 11 July 2023 (the "Record Date") may submit a Voting Instruction. In order to submit completed Voting Instructions, Noteholders are required to provide to the Information and Tabulation Agent by e-mail at mkb@lcpis.ru Proof of Holding as of the Record Date. Acceptable forms of Proof of Holding are set out in the respective Consent Solicitation Memorandum. | |
A duly executed Voting Instruction shall bind the Noteholder executing the Voting Instruction, and any subsequent registered holder or transferee of the Notes to which such Voting Instruction relates. The Voting Instructions submitted by the Noteholders shall remain in full force in case of the Meeting's adjournment and be taken into account at determining the voting results at an adjourned Meeting. Voting Instructions are irrevocable and may not be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where the Bank determines that withdrawal is permitted by applicable law. | |
The submission by a Noteholder of a Voting Instruction will automatically appoint two (2) employees of the Information and Tabulation Agent each as its proxy to attend the Meeting (and any adjourned Meeting) and to vote in respect of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution in respect of the Notes in the manner specified in such Voting Instruction. | |
The Bank reserves the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to waive any defects, irregularities or delays in connection with deliveries of Voting Instructions. | |
