  • 1 Press Release Update on the On-Going
    PRESS RELEASE UPDATE ON THE ON-GOING NEGOTIATION PROCESS Paris (France), 11 June 2020 – Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) (the “Company”) announces today that, in the framework of the conciliation proceedings opened on June 2nd, negotiations with its lenders are progressing and that, in order to facilitate the implementation of a restructuring transaction, the Company wishes to have the ability to request, as the case may be, (i) the opening in France of a “procédure de sauvegarde financière accélérée” (which is a form of pre-negotiated safeguard procedure with financial creditors only) (“SFA”) on Technicolor SA and (ii) the recognition of the SFA in the US, in accordance with applicable regulations (the “Recognition Procedure”). The Recognition Procedure is solely a procedure allowing the recognition of the effects of foreign proceedings in the US (here the French SFA), in a rather light process. While the implementation of a restructuring transaction in conciliation requires the consent of 100% of the impacted lenders under the Credit Facilities, the SFA would allow for the implementation of such transaction with only a 2/3 majority of such impacted lenders. As announced in the June 4th press release, the Company has received an indicative global proposal from financial institutions representing approximately 59% of the Term Loan B lenders and Revolving Credit Facility lenders. Such proposal addresses both the Group’s liquidity requirements and the need to deleverage the Company’s balance sheet. It should be further noted that the SFA and the Recognition Procedure would have no impact on the other creditors of the Group, including in particular its suppliers, or on the Company’s normal operations.
