Luxembourg,17 March 2023: Aggregate Holdings S.A. (“Aggregate”) announces that today it has entered into a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) with a group of institutional investors for the sale (the “Sale”) of 100% of the share capital of its indirect subsidiary, VIC Properties S.A. (“VIC Properties”, “VIC”, “Company”), and, amongst other matters, to release the Aggregate guarantee under the terms of the €250 million 3.00 per cent. Secured Pre-IPO Convertible Bonds due 2025 (ISIN XS1964739715) issued by VIC and guaranteed by Aggregate (the “VIC Convertible Bonds”) (the “Transaction”). The sale is to a consortium led by the institutional investors AlbaCore Capital Group, Mudrick Capital Management L.P. and Owl Creek Asset Management L.P., and the existing VIC management team.

The total enterprise value of the Transaction is more than €670 million, which will also result in a reduction in Aggregate consolidated net debt by more than €670 million upon the closing of the Transaction. VIC had net assets of €1,150 million and total assets of €1,882 million, including goodwill of €1,135 million as at 30 June 2022. The sale of VIC will be at a premium to net tangible assets and a discount to net assets. Under the terms of the Transaction, Aggregate will receive an equity participation entitling it to receive 5% of all net distributions to the new investors in excess of €1 billion.

The Agreement provides for the solicitation of consents from the holders of the VIC Convertible Bonds (the “Bondholders”) to approve certain amendments, including (but not limited to) the release of Aggregate from its existing guarantee and any future obligations of Aggregate related to the VIC Convertible Bonds upon completion of the Transaction, and permitting additional debt funding. Bondholders representing more than 70% of the outstanding principal amount of the VIC Convertible Bonds have committed to implement the proposed Transaction.

The Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023 and is subject to closing conditions, including the amendment of existing financing arrangements of VIC’s subsidiaries. There can be no guarantee that the Transaction as contemplated will be implemented on the terms set out above.
