State Aid to High Yield and Leveraged Loans Companies in Europe An Acuris Company Special Report STATE AID TO HIGH YIELD AND LEVERAGED LOANS COMPANIES IN EUROPE PRIMARY AUTHORS Aparna Rane Shivangi Dattani Bobby Kabli Chiara Elisei Robert Schach Credit analyst Manger– EMEA Credit Research (Offshore) Head of Research- European Deputy Editor - Restructuring Managing Editor Debtwire Europe [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Debtwire.com State aid to HY and Lev Loans companies in Europe An Acuris Company Overview The Debtwire State Aid report tracks all European HY and leveraged loan issuers that have applied or are considering applying for state aid to help fight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. EU member states and the UK have all promoted various schemes aimed at boosting the liquidity of companies affected by the coronavirus, in the form of state-guaranteed loans, direct grants and other measures. To date, European issuers tracked by Debtwire have applied for over EUR 34bn worth of state aid. Transportation, unsurprisingly, took the lion's share so far, accounting for 43.39% or EUR 14.875bn-equivalent of the total across 15 issuers, closely followed by automotive with EUR 12.384bn-equivalent or 36.12% across six issuers. Country-wise, France has been leading, with 14 domestic issuers taking up 43.56% or EUR 14.936bn-equivalent of the overall state aid deployed so far. Italy came second at 19.48% or EUR 6.68bn-equivalent across four issuers, with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV being granted nearly all the state aid disbursed in Italy to date. The top three companies by amount of state aid raised comprise French airline Air France-KLM SA (EUR 7bn), and automotive groups Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (EUR 6.3bn) and Renault SA (EUR 5bn).

  • Table of Stakeholder Engagement June 2018 to February 2019
    Table of stakeholder engagement June 2018 to February 2019 The table below shows stakeholder engagement with the reduction and reformulation programmes covered by Public Health England (PHE) between June 2018 and February 2019. This engagement covers, for example, attendance at the calorie reduction stakeholder forums in October 2018 and subsequent business 1:1’s, discussions on baby food reformulation, and meetings with the eating out of home sector that had not yet engaged with the reduction and reformulation programme. It is our understanding that many stakeholders are working towards achieving the aims and ambitions of the programmes but would not have necessarily had direct engagement with PHE during this timeframe. The programmes are at different stages and this is reflected in the level and focus of engagement with businesses and wider stakeholders in the table below. For example, given the sugar reduction programme is established, work on sugar reduction did not form the focus of PHE’s engagement during the time frame covered here and instead PHE concentrated on engaging stakeholders most relevant to programmes that are at an earlier stage of development (for example, calorie reduction, baby food reformulation) and/or with industry sectors where engagement is more mixed. Although every effort has been taken for this table to be comprehensive there may be some instances where this has not been possible. 1 Calorie reduction Sugar reduction Baby food reformulation Out of home business engagement1 2 Retailers Aldi Stores Limited ✓ Asda Stores Limited ✓ ✓ Co-operative Food ✓ J Sainsbury plc ✓ ✓ Lidl UK ✓ ✓ Marks & Spencer plc ✓ SPAR UK ✓ Tesco Stores Limited ✓ Waitrose ✓ Wilko ✓ WM Morrison Supermarkets plc ✓ Manufacturers Allied Bakeries ✓ Associated British Foods plc ✓ Babease Baby Plan ✓ Bear Nibbles ✓ CSM Bakery Solutions ✓ Danone ✓ Delifrance (UK) Limited ✓ Dr.

  • Cineworld Group
    CINEWORLD GROUP plc Interim Results for the period ended 30 June 2020 Cineworld Group plc (“the Group”) presents its interim results for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2020. These results are presented in US Dollars. Summary The COVID-19 global pandemic has adversely affected the Group’s results for the period, with all sites across the Group closed between mid-March to late June/August 2020 561 out of 778 sites are re-opened as at the date of this report, with 200 theatres in the US (mostly in CA and NY), 6 in the UK and 11 in Israel still closed Group revenue of $712.4m (2019: $2,151.2m) and Group Adjusted EBITDA $53.0m (2019: $758.6m) for the period was severely impacted by these cinema closures Management’s main priorities have been the safety of customers and employees, cash preservation and cost reduction $360.8m additional liquidity raised during the period At the date of reporting negotiations with the banks remain ongoing in order to obtain covenant waivers in respect of December 2020 and June 2021. This has resulted in a disclaimer conclusion being issued by the auditor. Termination of Cineplex transaction in June 2020 Outlook Steady performance of re-opened sites in ROW territories and initial admission build-up in the UK and US driven by the release of “Tenet” and local movies There can be no certainty as to the future impact of COVID-19 on the Group. If Governments were to strengthen restrictions on social gathering, which may therefore oblige us to close our estate again or further push back movie releases, it would have a negative impact on our financial performance and likely require the need to raise additional liquidity.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Global equity markets were impacted by considerable trade friction and geopolitical volatility. The MSCI COMPOSITE EAFE Index dropped -1.00%, while the Polaris International Equity Composite returned -2.44% for the third quarter of 2019. The United Kingdom, Austria, Germany and Israel had negative returns at the Index level; however, the portfolio’s holdings in those countries outperformed. In particular, U.K. consumer discretionary holdings, Bellway PLC and Next PLC, and British engineering services company Babcock International Group, exacted double-digit gains for the quarter. Overweight positions in Norway, France, Sweden and Canada detracted, as each of these countries saw their local stock markets slide. Exposure to foreign currencies hampered results as the U.S. dollar preciated against most major currencies. At the sector level, outperformance in consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology (IT) could not offset losses in materials and financials, whichap were overweight portfolio positions relative to the benchmark.
