Hedin Mobility Group initiates a written procedure for its senior unsecured bonds 2023/2026
Hedin Mobility Group AB (publ) (the “Company”) is requesting approval from the holders of the Company’s senior unsecured callable floating rate bonds with ISIN SE0018742033 (the “Bonds”) to extend the final redemption date of the Bonds and make certain amendments to the terms and conditions of the Bonds (the “Request”).
In order to receive the holders’ approval of the Request, the Company has today instructed the agent, CSC (Sweden) AB, to initiate a written procedure for the Bonds (the “Written Procedure”) by sending the notice of Written Procedure (including voting instructions) to the direct registered owners and registered authorised nominees of the Bonds in the Company’s debt ledger held with Euroclear Sweden as of 16 March 2026. The outcome of the Written Procedure will be announced by way of a press release in connection with the conclusion of the Written Procedure. The voting record date is 24 March 2026 and the last day for voting in the Written Procedure is 7 April 2026.
As further described in the notice of Written Procedure, the Request seeks approval for, among other things: (i) the extension of the final redemption date of the Bonds by 15 months to 7 October 2027, (ii) in consideration of the extension, amending the redemption price at the final redemption date from 100 per cent. to 106 per cent. of the nominal amount, (iii) incorporating an optional early partial redemption right, allowing the Company to redeem the Bonds, in whole or in part, at increasing redemption prices prior to the new final redemption date, (iv) incorporating a mandatory partial redemption undertaking in relation to proceeds from certain disposals of entities and business units which will be applied towards prepayment of the Bonds and the Bank Facilities (as defined below) pro rata as further described in the notice of Written Procedure, (v) removal of permitted distributions to shareholders and subordinated creditors and (vi) incorporating additional restrictions to permitted debt and permitted security (the “Amendments”).
The Amendments are conditional upon the lenders under certain bank facilities incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of approximately SEK 5,500,000,000 (jointly, the “Bank Facilities”) being extended to no earlier than 30 June 2027. The lenders under the Bank Facilities have agreed to such extension conditional upon the extension of the maturity of the Bonds to 7 October 2027, subject to certain customary conditions precedent. Furthermore, the Amendments will be conditional upon the Company receiving an equity contribution from its main shareholders in an aggregate net amount of SEK 500,000,000 (of which SEK 400,000,000 will be contributed as new cash and the remaining SEK 100,000,000 will be effected by way of converting an existing shareholder loan into equity). In addition to the equity contribution, the main shareholders of the Company have agreed to provide a SEK 250,000,000 shareholder guarantee, which is payable to the Company if the Company fails to meet certain financial covenants included in the Bank Facilities.
If the Request is approved by the requisite majority of holders of the Bonds, a consent fee amounting to 0.50 per cent. of the nominal amount for each Bond will be paid to the holders, subject to the terms set out in the notice of Written Procedure.
