Thomas Cook launches guaranteed bond

 

28 November 2016

 

Thomas Cook Group plc (the "Issuer" or the "Company") announces that it intends to raise at least €300 million in aggregate principal amount from the issuance of guaranteed senior unsecured fixed rate notes due 2022 (the "Notes") pursuant to an offering to institutional investors. The Notes will include a call option in favour of the Issuer exercisable after two and a half years, subject to a call schedule with step-downs up to maturity. The Notes will be guaranteed by Thomas Cook Finance plc and the Issuer's subsidiaries that guarantee Thomas Cook Finance plc's existing notes due 2020 and 2021.

The offering is expected to close on or about 8 December 2016, subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions.

 

Thomas Cook intends to use the proceeds of the offering to redeem its outstanding guaranteed senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in June 2017, and a portion of its outstanding guaranteed senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in June 2020.

 

The transaction will strengthen Thomas Cook's financial position by extending the Company's debt maturity profile and increasing liquidity. The transaction will also help enhance Thomas Cook's future financing flexibility, consistent with the Company's target of reducing fixed-term debt by a further £200m over the next two years.

 

This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

 

The Notes and any related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Notes and any related guarantees are being offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

The offer and sale of the Notes will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in Member States of the European Economic Area, from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities. This announcement does not constitute an advertisement for purposes of the Prospectus Directive.

 

No money, securities or other consideration is being solicited, and, if sent in response to the information contained herein, will not be accepted.
