On 21 September 2017, the Issuer, in conjunction with KMG
Finance, announced and launched a consent solicitation to approve
certain modifications of the terms and conditions of the Notes as
set out in a consent solicitation memorandum dated 21 September
2017 (the "Memorandum"). Capitalised terms used in this
announcement, but not defined herein have the same meaning ascribed
to them in the Memorandum.
Pursuant to the Memorandum the Issuer and KMG Finance reserved
the right at any time prior to the Final Consent Date or the
Adjourned Final Consent Date in respect of the applicable Series of
Notes, as the case may be, to modify or waive any of the terms of
the Proposal or the Solicitation.
The Issuer and KMG Finance hereby amend the Solicitation by
extending the Early Consent Expiration Time and Early Consent Date
until the Final Consent Expiration Time and the Final Consent
Expiration Date, being 11:00 a.m. (EST) / 4:00 p.m. (London time)
on 10 October 2017 (together, the "Amendment").
Qualifying Noteholders who validly submit an Electronic Voting
Instruction or who validly submit a Form of Sub-Proxy, as
applicable, in favour of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution (and
who have not validly revoked their Electronic Voting Instruction or
Form of Sub-Proxy, as applicable) that is received by the
Tabulation Agent on or prior to the Final Consent Expiration Time
(11:00 a.m. (EST) / 4:00 p.m. (London time) on 10 October 2017)
will be entitled to receive the applicable Early Consent Fee.
Qualifying Noteholders who validly submitted an Electronic
Voting Instruction or who validly submitted a Form of Sub-Proxy, as
applicable, against the relevant Extraordinary Resolution, will be
entitled to receive the applicable Early Consent Fee if they revoke
their previously submitted Electronic Voting Instruction or Form of
Sub-Proxy, as applicable, and validly submit an Electronic Voting
Instruction or a Form of Sub-Proxy, as applicable, in favour of the
relevant Extraordinary Resolution (and not validly revoke their
Electronic Voting Instruction or Form of Sub-Proxy, as applicable)
that is received by the Tabulation Agent on or prior to the Final
Consent Expiration Time (11:00 a.m. (EST) / 4:00 p.m. (London time)
on 10 October 2017).
Waiver of the conditions that all Extraordinary Resolutions
relating to all six Series must be duly passed at the relevant
Meeting (or any Adjourned Meeting), in order for any (i) of the
Extraordinary Resolutions to become effective; and (ii) Early
Consent Fee to be payable
The Issuer hereby waives the condition that all Extraordinary
Resolutions relating to all six Series must be duly passed at the
relevant Meeting (or any Adjourned Meeting), in order for any of
the Extraordinary Resolutions to become effective.
The Issuer also hereby waives the condition to the payment of
the applicable Early Consent Fee that all Extraordinary Resolutions
relating to all six Series that are the subject of the Proposal
were duly passed at each relevant Meeting or Adjourned Meeting.
Accordingly, in relation to any Series, provided that the
Extraordinary Resolution is duly passed at the relevant Meeting or,
as the case may be, Adjourned Meeting, the applicable Early Consent
Fee will now be paid to Qualifying Noteholders who validly submit
an Electronic Voting Instruction or who validly submit a Form of
Sub-Proxy, as applicable, in favour of such Extraordinary
Resolution (and who have not validly revoked their Electronic
Voting Instruction or Form of Sub-Proxy, as applicable) that is
received by the Tabulation Agent on or prior to the Final Consent
Expiration Time (11:00 a.m. (EST) / 4:00 p.m. (London time) on 10
