(the "Bonds")(ISIN: XS1112834608)

 

30 March 2023

Eros Media World PLC (formerly, Eros STX Global Corporation) (incorporated as a limited company and registered in the Isle of Man under the Companies Act 2006 (Isle of Man) with company number 007466V) (the "Company") hereby announces the results of the Consent Solicitation (as defined below) in respect of the Bonds on the terms set out in the repurchase and consent solicitation memorandum dated 8 March 2023 (the "Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum") prepared by the Company.

Capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

Results of the Meeting of Bondholders

The Company hereby announces that the Meeting of Bondholders convened by the Company by the delivery of a notice to Bondholders on 8 March 2023 was held earlier today and that the Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed at the Meeting. Accordingly, the Company and the other parties thereto have executed the Third Supplemental Trust Deed and the Second Supplemental Agency Agreement referred to in the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum and, consequently, the Proposals referred to in the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum have now been implemented (save as referred to below under "Appointment of new Trustee" and "Accession by Eros Worldwide FZE to the Trust Deed as Subsidiary Guarantor").

Repurchase of Bonds

The aggregate nominal amount of Bonds offered for repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase exceeded the Repurchase Cap. The Company is in the process of negotiating an agreement with certain creditors of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the Bank of India Facility and certain other debt facilities, the outcome of which will be a factor in determining the aggregate nominal amount of Bonds to be repurchased (the "Repurchase Total"). Accordingly, the Company is not yet in a position to confirm the Repurchase Total but will make a further announcement of the Repurchase Total by no later than 12 April 2023. As the aggregate nominal amount of Bonds offered for repurchase exceeded the Repurchase Cap, once the Repurchase Total has been announced those Bonds which were offered for repurchase will be scaled in the manner described in the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

This does not affect the date on which payment will be made for the Bonds which are accepted for repurchase (which, as set out in the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum is expected to be no later than 21 April 2023), the payment to all Bondholders (including any Bondholders whose Bonds are accepted for repurchase in the Repurchase) of the interest payable for the interest period ending 15 April 2023 on 17 April 2023 (15 April 2023 being a Saturday) or any other terms of the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation.

Payment of Consent Fee

As the Extraordinary Resolution has been passed and the Proposals have now been implemented (save as referred to below under "Appointment of new Trustee" and "Accession by Eros Worldwide FZE to the Trust Deed as Subsidiary Guarantor"), the Consent Fee is payable to those Bondholders who submitted (and did not revoke) either (i) valid Repurchase Instructions, or (ii) valid Voting Instructions (voting for the Extraordinary Resolution), in each case which were received by the Tender, Tabulation and Information Agent on or before the Final Deadline.

Bondholders who voted against the Extraordinary Resolution, or abstained from voting on the Extraordinary Resolution, or failed to submit Repurchase Instructions or Voting Instructions, or who submitted but then validly revoked Repurchase Instructions or Voting Instructions, are not eligible to receive the Consent Fee.

The Payment Date in respect of the Consent Fee payable to those holders eligible to receive such Consent Fee will be no later than 30 calendar days after the date on which the Proposals were approved (this being the date of the Meeting held on 30 March 2023).

Appointment of new Trustee

M&G Trustee Company Limited (a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with company number 01863305, whose registered office is at 10 Fenchurch Avenue, London, EC3M 5AG) is to be appointed as replacement Trustee in respect of the Bonds to replace the existing Trustee, U.S. Bank Trustees Limited. Accordingly, the Company, U.S. Bank Trustees Limited (as existing Trustee) and M&G Trustee Company Limited (as replacement Trustee) will execute a deed of removal and appointment, a fourth supplemental trust deed and a third supplemental agency agreement on or around 3 April 2023 (the "Execution Date") in order to implement the replacement of U.S. Bank Trustees Limited as Trustee and the appointment of M&G Trustee Company Limited as the replacement Trustee in respect of the Bonds.

Accession by Eros Worldwide FZE to the Trust Deed as Subsidiary Guarantor

Eros Worldwide FZE will also execute the fourth supplemental trust deed and third supplemental agency agreement on the Execution Date in order to accede to the Trust Deed as a Subsidiary Guarantor.

Undertaking to create Security

The Company is working with its advisers to procure the creation of the Security over the Secured Assets by the Security Deadline (30 June 2023), as referred to in the Repurchase and Consent Solicitation Memorandum. It is now expected that the Secured Assets will be held either by Eros Worldwide FZE or by another subsidiary. A further announcement will be made once the Security has been implemented.
