On 20 June 2017, the Issuer, in conjunction with KMG Finance,
announced and launched a consent solicitation (the "Consent
Solicitation") to approve certain modifications of the terms and
conditions of the Notes as set out in a consent solicitation
memorandum dated 20 June 2017 (the "Memorandum"). Capitalised terms
used in this announcement, but not defined herein have the same
meaning ascribed to them in the Memorandum.
Following the Final Consent Expiration Time, based on the votes
that have been cast the Extraordinary Resolutions would have passed
in respect of the Noteholders meetings for a few Series of Notes
but as the Extraordinary Resolutions would not have passed at the
meetings in respect of all the Series, KMG has resolved not to
proceed with the Consent Solicitation. Consequently, any Electronic
Voting Instructions or Forms of Sub-Proxy previously given by
Noteholders in respect of the Proposal will be disregarded and have
no effect, and any Notes previously blocked in the Clearing Systems
in respect of such instructions / forms will be released and
returned to Noteholders. It is not intended that the Extraordinary
Resolutions set out in the Memorandum will be presented to the
Meetings scheduled to take place on 12 July 2017 and accordingly
each Meeting scheduled to take place on 12 July 2017 will be
adjourned sine die. Accordingly, each Trust Deed will remain in its
present form, unamended. As a result of the withdrawal of the
Consent Solicitation, no Early Consent Fee will be paid or become
payable to holders of Notes who have delivered consents under the
Consent Solicitation.
This announcement confirms the formal withdrawal of the Consent
Solicitation. KMG and KMG Finance reserve the right to initiate a
new consent solicitation at a later date, but they are under no
obligation to do so.
KMG would like to thank Noteholders for their participation and
the feedback that they have provided.
