Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed executed between the parties to the CP Facilities Agreement, PLK Facilities Agreement and certain members of the Group

On 21 September 2015 the Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed was concluded between the Company, Polkomtel Sp. z o.o., Telewizja Polsat Sp. z o.o., Cyfrowy Polsat Trade Marks Sp. z o.o., Polsat License Ltd. and Polsat Media Biuro Reklamy Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością sp.k., Eileme 2 AB (publ), Eileme 3 AB (publ), Eileme 4 AB (publ), Plus TM Management Sp. z o.o., TM Rental Sp. z o.o., Plus TM Group Sp. z o.o. and the consortium of Polish and foreign financing institutions (the “Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed”).

According to the Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed, upon repayment of the HY Notes Indebtedness, the indebtedness under the PLK Facilities Agreement was refinanced using the funds made available under the CP Facilities Agreement, as amended in the Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed. The HY Notes Indebtedness were repaid 1 February 2016.

The Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed amends the CP Facilities Agreement as follows:

  • the maximum amount of the CP Term Facility is PLN 11,500, and the maximum amount of the CP Revolving Facility is PLN 1,000;
  • the Company and other Group members will establish additional collaterals for the facilities granted on this basis. These collaterals include, in particular, registered pledges on collections of movables and economic interests of variable composition comprised in the enterprise of certain members of the Group, registered and financial pledges on shares in the Group members, registered and financial pledges on receivables related to bank accounts kept for certain members of the Group, ordinary and registered pledges on selected trademarks, assignments of rights for security, mortgages, notarial submissions to enforcement and similar collaterals on shares (interests) or assets of members of the Group, to be governed by foreign laws.

The CP Term Facility and the CP Revolving Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to WIBOR for the relevant interest period plus margin. The margin on the CP Term Facility and the CP Revolving Facility depends on the ratio of net consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA in such a way that the lower the ratio – the lower the margin. The CP Term Facility and the CP Revolving Facility are to be repaid in quarterly installments of variable value with the final repayment date for each of these facilities set at 21 September 2020.

On 26 January 2016, Polkomtel (an indirect subsidiary of the Company) increased utilization of the PLN facility by PLN 4.8 billion (not in million) pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed.

The CP Revolving Facility as at 31 December 2016 was not utilized. The CP Revolving Facility and the PLK Revolving Facility as at 31 December 2015 were not utilized.

In accordance with the provisions of the Amendment, Restatement and Consolidation Deed, the Company, Polkomtel and other members of the Group may incur additional facilities. The terms of such additional facilities will be established individually in separate additional facility accession deeds and their terms will have to satisfy certain criteria.

Claims related to the CP Facilities Agreement and the PLK Facilities Agreement are secured by collaterals established by the Company, Polkomtel and other members of the Group as a security. A detailed description of the established securities is presented in the Management Report in note 4.6.6.
