THE COVENTRY AND RUGBY HOSPITAL COMPANY PLC - RNS ANNOUNCEMENT

 

THE COVENTRY AND RUGBY HOSPITAL COMPANY PLC (the "Issuer")

£407,239,000

3.246 per cent. Index Linked guaranteed secured bonds due 30 June 2040

(including £35,000,000 variation bonds)

(with authority to issue further bonds)

unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed as to scheduled payments of
principal and interest pursuant to a financial guarantee policy

issued by MBIA ASSURANCE S.A. (succeeded by Assured Guaranty UK Limited)

(the "Bonds")

(ISIN: XSO159152189 Common Code: 015915218)

 

Partial Bond Redemption

On 15 August 2023 the Issuer announced the prepayment of bonds in RNS 4098J.
Prepayment was made on 18 September 2023. The Company has been approached by
the Investment Association on behalf of certain bondholders with a request for
further information in relation to the prepayment.

 

As set out in RNS 4098J, the Credit Provider directed the Issuer to redeem the
CPCT Portion (9.826590 per cent) of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each
bond at the CPCT Prepayment Amount together with accrued interest adjusted for
indexation.  A total of £45,117,084.77.

 

·     Calculation of the prepayment amount is governed by the Bond Trust
Deed.

·    Mandatory Partial Redemption is set out in clause 5(d) of Schedule 4
of the Bond Trust Deed.   At any time following the termination of the
Project Agreement in relation to CPCT (now known as CWPT) the Credit Provider
can direct the Issuer to redeem bonds equal to the CPCT Prepayment Amount,
together with accrued interest, adjusted for indexation.  The total payable
is the Relevant Redemption Amount.

·   The CPCT Prepayment Amount is 9.826590 per cent of the Outstanding
Principal amount which is £597.269 per £1,000 of bonds in issuance per
Schedule 4 of the Bond Trust Deed.  Bonds in issuance amount to £372.239
million as the variation bonds have not been issued.  The index ratio
applicable to the month in which redemption took place is 2.0506545 which is
RPI for January 2023 of 360.3 (per the Office for National Statistics) as
numerator and 175.7 as denominator per the Bond Trust Deed.  The prepayment
amount (principal prepayment) therefore amounts to £44,800,945.92 (being:
9.826590% x (£597.269/£1,000.000) x £372,239,000 x 2.0506545).

·    Accrued interest is calculated as the bond rate of interest (3.246%)
applied to the CPCT Prepayment Amount and multiplied by the Day Count Fraction
of 0.217391304 (80 days / 184 days).  Interest therefore amounts to
£316,138.85 (3.246% x £44,800,945.92 x 0.217391304).

·     No spens applies.
