Dias Vieira Clementino and Leticia Telo Kitzberger, Morais & Xavier Advogados Legal Advisor Company Associados Escritorio de Advocacia Sergio Bermudes Legal Advisor Company (former) Transaction Synopsis: IMPSA missed a payment of principal and interest on its 2020 10.375% notes that was due in September 2014. Timeline - August 2014 - A Pernambuco state court declares IMPSA’s Brazilian sister company Wind Power Energia (WPE) bankrupt. November 2015 - IMPSA reached a preliminary consensus with a group of creditors to restructure its debt under an Acuerdo Preventivo Extrajudicial (APE), Argentina’s prepack agreement. IMPSA planned to exchange its defaulted bonds for new notes under the plan, and cede a stake to creditors. March 2015 - WPE submitted a plan of reorganization to restructure debt of USD 790m. The plan included negotiating a BRL 50m-BRL 70m post-petition bridge loan to resume operations. The company was also considering selling its 55% stake in Energimp. WPE’s bankruptcy proceedings will be moved to Sao Paulo courts following a successful challenge by creditor BIC Banco. April 2016 - Under the terms of a new prepack agreement, IMPSA would increase the equity stake on offer to creditors from the 40% it had originally been considering to 65%. Creditors plan to look for a buyer if they succeed in closing the prepack agreement. The plan would also include selling Enrique Pescarmona’s stake in the operation. Amendments to WPE’s plan of reorganization also involve selling its wind factory based in Cabo do Santo Agostinho for BRL 400m (USD 108m), although lenders have estimated a price tag of BRL 250m. May 2016 - IMPSA reached an agreement with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to support its plan to restructure USD 1bn. The new offer includes an increase in the equity stake to creditors from 40% to 65%, while the other major aspects—regarding the two Par bonds and Discount bonds—remain unchanged. June 2016 - A court supervised meeting of creditors of IMPSA’s Brazilian sister company Wind Power Energia (WPE) failed to reach quorum. Creditor BIC Banco continued to push for a move in the bankruptcy jurisdiction from the state of Pernambuco to the state of Sao Paulo. July 2016 - IMPSA said it had reached “”consensus”” with its main creditors on restructuring USD 1bn in debt, including their receiving 65% of equity. But by late August, it had yet to file its restructuring plan with the court. September 2016 - The company said it had notified an Argentine court that creditors representing 51.51% of its debt have endorsed its USD 1bn debt-restructuring plan. December 2016 - Mendoza’s Second Court ruled in favor of the company’s petition to have a single meeting with all the holders of its various domestic bonds. These investors will now meet with the company on 20 February 2017 to vote on IMPSA’s Acuerdo Preventivo Extrajudicial (APE), which requires approval from holders of more than 66% of the company’s unsecured debt. - CEO Juan Carlos Fernandez resigned and COO Sergio Carobene became the new head. - The company said its restructuring plan had received support from creditors holding 59.6% of its debt. January 2017 - IMPSA amended the terms of the bonds that will be issued as part of the restructuring. The company plans to issue up to USD 146m in two Par bonds—one in ARS and another in USD—and up to USD 322m in two Discount bonds, also split between currency denominations. February 2017 - IMPSA received approval for its prepack restructuring agreement from creditors holding 91.7% of the debt represented at meetings on 20 and 21 February. The company needed 66% support of unsecured creditors to implement the APE. - As of February, Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice had ruled that WPE’s restructuring process should continue in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, in the state of Pernambuco, rejecting BIC Banco’s request to move it to Sao Paulo. March 2017 - As of March, WPE’s proposed plan of restructuring called for the sale of assets to pay creditors, including a wind-turbine factory in Cabo de Santo Agostinho and the company’s 55% stake in subsidiary Energimp. WPE was seeking to restructure over BRL 3bn in debt. - WPE planned to convene creditors on 13 June in Cabo do Santo Agostinho in Pernambuco state. May 2017 - IMPSA said creditors holding 69.5% of its debt approved the company’s USD 1.05bn debt-restructuring plan. Among these creditors were the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Bradesco and Raiffeisenbank. June 2017 - IMPSA pushed back the deadline for its USD 1.05bn debt-restructuring plan to 12 June. - A majority of creditors approved IMPSA’s USD 1.05bn debt-restructuring plan. Among creditors backing the plan were Banco de La Nacion Argentina, Banco de Inversion y Comercio Exterior, Badesul and Export-Import Bank of the United States. July 2017 - IMPSA said shareholders had approved the sale of its 30.7% stake in consortium Empresas Mendocinas para Potrerillos (CEMPPSA) to local company Abrasur for about ARS 64.9m. Creditors had also okayed the sale. August 2017 - IMPSA said shareholders had ok’d its USD 1.05bn out-of-court debt restructuring. The debt consisted of USD 250m in ARS-denominated bonds; USD 700m in cross-guaranteed liabilities with sister company WPE; and a USD 150m loan with the IDB. - WPE’s creditors agreed to postpone a meeting to 17 Octobers. The delay was designed to give WPE more time to negotiate tax liabilities blocking the sale of its industrial facility in Brazilian city of Cabo de Santo Agostinho. - IMPSA named Daniel Rivera its CFO. He will guide the Argentine company through the final steps of its USD 1.05bn restructuring. September 2017 - As of late September, IMPSA’s Brazilian sister company WPE filed an amended reorg plan that details the sale of assets, including a wind-turbine factory, a unit manufacturing parts for hydro-electric plants and shares of parent Venti. Under the plan, 90% of the proceeds from the Venti stake would be allocated to paying creditors holding secured debt as well as those with out-of-court claims that had agreed to restructure under bankruptcy-court supervision. - IMPSA said a bankruptcy court in Argentina had approved its USD 1.05bn, out-of-court restructuring agreement. January 2018 - Lenders of IMPSA’s Brazilian sister company WPE agreed to postpone their court-supervised meeting to discuss the company’s restructuring until 19 March. The adjournment came at the request of savings bank Caixa Economica Federal, which is owed money by WPE subsidiary Energimp. The parent guarantees the subsidiary’s debt, which means Caixa needs WPE creditors to approve a deal it had reached with Energimp. The bank was seeking that approval prior to a creditors meeting. March 2018 - WPE lenders approved the company’s plan of reorganization, with 78.83% voting in favor. Under the plan, proceeds from the sale of assets will be used to repay secured and unsecured lenders. Divestments included parent company Venti’s controlling stake in WPE, the company’s wind-power plant and its 55% stake in subsidiary Energimp.

  • Underwriting; Development of the Restructuring Plan
    Chapter 5 Underwriting; Development of the Restructuring Plan Executive Summary Section 5-1 This chapter describes the PAEs actions for financial underwriting of the M2M transaction and the development of the Restructuring Plan. The PAE will determine the project’s rents, expenses, and deposits to the reserves under various scenarios. The PAE will then size the first and second mortgages, and third mortgage, if needed, and determine the amount of claim payable by FHA, as well as the sources and uses in the transaction, and the owner’s financial return. The results of this underwriting, the due diligence described in Chapter 4, the tenant comments, and owner negotiations are consolidated in the draft Restructuring Plan Package submitted to the OAHP Preservation Office. The PAE should work cooperatively with the owner and lender as needed throughout this process. Underwriting Model Section 5-2 A. General. OAHP has provided an Underwriting Model for use in completing the financial underwriting of M2M transactions. A copy of the Model is available on OAHP’s Web site or can be obtained through the OAHP Preservation Office. Use of the Model is required and helps meet the unique requirements of this program that will not be present in other underwriting models. However, the Model is only an aid and may not be appropriate or complete for every case; the PAE remains responsible for its own conclusions, and for appropriately addressing unusual conditions that may not be fully considered by the model or this Guide. B. Using the Model. PAEs are responsible for using the most recent, appropriate model and generally following the procedures reflected therein.

  • Creating a Framework for Sovereign Debt Restructuring That Works 1
    Creating a Framework for Sovereign Debt Restructuring that Works 1 Martin Guzman2 and Joseph E. Stiglitz3 Abstract Recent controversies surrounding sovereign debt restructurings show the weaknesses of the current market-based system in achieving efficient and fair solutions to sovereign debt crises. This article reviews the existing problems and proposes solutions. It argues that improvements in the language of contracts, although beneficial, cannot provide a comprehensive, efficient, and equitable solution to the problems faced in restructurings—but there are improvements within the contractual approach that should be implemented. Ultimately, the contractual approach must be complemented by a multinational legal framework that facilitates restructurings based on principles of efficiency and equity. Given the current geopolitical constraints, in the short-run we advocate the implementation of a “soft law” approach, built on the recognition of the limitations of the private contractual approach and on a set of principles – most importantly, the restoration of sovereign immunity – over which there may be consensus. We suggest that in a context of political economy tensions it should be impossible for a government to sign away the sovereign immunity either for itself or successor governments. The framework could be implemented through the United Nations, or it could prompt the creation of a new institution.

  • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Alert Latin America Anti-Bribery Year-In-Review: 2019 Developments and Predictions for 2020
    February 28, 2020 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Alert Latin America Anti-Bribery Year-in-Review: 2019 Developments and Predictions for 2020 By Tico Almeida, Lillian Howard Potter, and John F. Walsh1 I. INTRODUCTION Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement activity reached new heights in 2019. Corporate penalties paid to US enforcement agencies topped last year’s record levels, and individuals were charged at a pace matching last year’s near-record level.2 As discussed in detail below, Latin American citizens from Ecuador to Venezuela have recently found themselves facing criminal anti-corruption charges in federal courts in the US. These trends are critically important both to Latin American companies and to US companies doing business in Latin America. As recent enforcement trends show, foreign companies are a perennial target of US enforcement agencies. Nine of the top 10 all-time largest FCPA enforcement actions have been brought against companies based outside the US, including several Brazilian companies. Similarly, US companies with operations in Latin America have good reason to ensure that they have strong anti-corruption controls in place because, as discussed below, US enforcement agencies are investigating corruption by US companies operating across the region, from Mexico to Peru. This alert summarizes key Latin America 2019 anti-bribery enforcement developments and concludes with predictions for 2020. For a comprehensive global review of enforcement and policy developments, please refer to WilmerHale’s FCPA Alert: Global Anti-Bribery Year-in-Review for 2019. II.

  • BRAZIL BULLETIN INTERVIEW: Guido Mantega, Brazilian Finance Minister
    Brazil-U.S. Business Council, Brazil Bulletin, Vol. XXI, No. 11 March 14, 2011 BRAZIL BULLETIN INTERVIEW: Guido Mantega, Brazilian Finance Minister. –“Our main challenge is to boost exports of manufactured products, despite the trade war that’s brewing.” Brazilian economic policies in 2011 will focus on the increasingly evident problems associated with sustainable growth, according to Finance Minister Guido Mantega. Problems include rising inflation and a burgeoning current account deficit. Mantega discussed aspects of the government’s strategy at a recent meeting with business executives in São Paulo. Excerpts follow: On sustaining growth: “I think we can say, at this point, that the phase of combating the international crisis is now over. Our goal now is to guarantee sustainable growth. We need to look at ways of stimulating gains in productivity among manufacturers. We also need to make sure there is enough qualified labor available as the economy continues to expand and diversify.” On budget cutting measures: “Brazil’s government will make every effort to cut its own operating costs and avoid creating new sources of spending. Our aim is to use spending cuts to hold back on monetary tightening. We are one of the best fiscally positioned countries in the world. We expect to continue as such in 2011.” On budget cuts and interest rates: “Cuts in spending should eventually result in lower interest rates. They also open the door to timely use of tax incentives.” On the current account deficit: “Another challenge for Brazil in 2011 will be reduction in the current account deficit. We have to find ways to make exports grow faster than imports this year.
