G.The purpose of the Scheme is to effect a compromise and arrangement between the Company and the Scheme Creditors so as to implement a financial restructuring of the Liabilities of the Company and the Old Notes Subsidiary Guarantors under and/or in connection with the Old Notes and the Old Notes Documents. The effectiveness of this Cayman Scheme is conditional upon the effectiveness of the Senior Secured Facilities Restructuring and the Promissory Notes Restructuring and the Schemes are conditional upon the effectiveness of each other.

iii.a portion of the New Shares.

 

OLD NOTES ISSUED BY THE COMPANY

 

H.The Old Notes were issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Old Notes Indenture and are held under an arrangement whereby:

 

i.the Old Notes have been issued in global registered form with Global Notes, initially being deposited with and registered in the name of the Old Notes Depository (or its nominee, Cede & Co.), through the Old Notes Depository

THE OLD NOTES AND THIS CAYMAN SCHEME

 

I.The Old Notes will remain in global form for the purposes of this Cayman Scheme. The Old Notes Depository in its capacity as depository for the Old Notes and on behalf of its nominee (Cede & Co.) as registered holder of the Old Notes, has confirmed that it does not intend to vote in respect of the Old Notes at the Scheme Meetings. The Old Notes Trustee is not a Scheme Creditor and will not vote at the Scheme Meetings.

7.1All Scheme Claims shall be determined as at the Record Time.

 

7.2The Scheme Creditors acknowledge and agree that the Information Agent shall use the Account Holder Letter submitted by or on behalf of each Scheme Creditor, as verified against the books and records of the Old Notes Depository, to determine the Scheme Claim of each Scheme Creditor and its entitlement to its share of the Scheme Consideration and any such determination shall (in the absence of wilful

 

44 

 

default, wilful misconduct or fraud) be conclusive and binding on the Scheme Creditors and the Company.

 

7.3The Information Agent shall use reasonable endeavours to review each Account Holder Letter (including any Distribution Confirmation and Designated Recipient Form, if applicable) and all blocking instructions promptly after receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing it is the responsibility of each Scheme Creditor to ensure that any Account Holder Letter (including any Distribution Confirmation and Designated Recipient Form, if applicable) submitted in respect of its Scheme Claim has been validly completed.

8.1The Company shall be under no obligation to recognise any assignment or transfer of any Scheme Claim after the Record Time and all entitlements of Participating Scheme Creditors under this Cayman Scheme shall be determined as at the Record Time, save that where the Company has received after the Record Time, from the relevant parties written notice of an assignment or transfer of a Scheme Claim, the Company may, in its discretion (acting reasonably) and subject to such evidence as it may reasonably require and to any other terms and conditions which the Company may consider necessary or desirable, agree to recognise such assignment or transfer for the purposes of determining entitlements under the Schemes. Any assignee or transferee of Scheme Claims so recognised by the Company shall be bound by the terms of the Schemes as if it were a Scheme Creditor and shall produce such evidence as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that it has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Schemes. Neither the Old Notes Trustee nor the Registrar will be responsible for confirming noteholders as at the Record Time or for monitoring, acknowledging or processing any assignments that occur after the Record Time.

The Scheme Consideration to which that Non-Participating Scheme Creditor would otherwise have been entitled shall form part of the Remaining Surplus Scheme Consideration to be sold by the Scheme Consideration Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Final Distribution Date and the net proceeds of sale (after deducting the reasonable costs and expenses of sale) are to be transferred to any charity which the Company may select in its sole discretion in accordance with the provisions of Part D and the Distribution Agreement.
