Series I & Series II
Status:
Security:
The Bonds will be secured by a first-ranking general hypothec over all the present and future assets of the Issuer as well as by a first-ranking special hypothec over the plot of land, measuring 4,596 square metres and earmarked for the construction of Block 16, Block 17 and Towers I & II, together with the improvements made thereon. The Issuer also intends to pledged the proceeds of an insurance covering the replacement value of the Project in favour of bondholders.
Ranking:
The Bonds shall constitute the general, direct, unconditional and secured obligations of the Issuer, and the two series shall rank pari passu between themselves, but with priority or preference over any other unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer.
Nonetheless, the Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the Bondholders, create and issue further debentures, debenture stock, bonds, loan notes, or any other debt securities provided that no issue may be made that would rank senior to the Series I & II Bonds.
The Issuer may incur further indebtedness on a short to medium term basis that may rank pari passu with the Bonds for the purpose of bridging any cash flow shortfalls arising from the proceeds of sales from the Project.
Use of Proceeds:
The net proceeds from this bond issue, estimated at €41.25 million after issuance costs, will be principally used by the Issuer as follows:
i) to finance the redemption of the outstanding unlisted €12 million notes which the Issuer intends to redeem at the first Early Redemption Date of 15 January 2015;
ii) to acquire the land over which the two towers and Block 17 will be developed and to settle amounts owed with respect to works already executed on the aforementioned land (circa €8.95 million);
iii) to finance the construction and development of Phase II comprising Block 16, Towers I & II and Block 17 (circa €20 million).
The remaining €26.1 million funding required to complete Phase II is expected to be generated from net sales of the residential and commercial units within the same project.
