NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the Class A Bondholders of the outcome of voting on the STID Proposal prepared by LHR Airports Limited, and delivered to Deutsche Trustee Company Limited (the Borrower Security Trustee) on 28 January 2019 requesting the Borrower Security Trustee to seek voting instructions in respect of the amendments contained therein from the Qualifying Borrower Secured Creditors through their Secured Creditor Representatives (the STID Proposal). Deutsche Trustee Company Limited, as Bond Trustee, sought voting instructions in respect of the STID Proposal through the Notice to the Class A Bondholders published through the Clearing Systems on 28 January 2019 (the Notice).
The Borrower Security Trustee has confirmed to the Issuer (through its Secured Creditor Representative) that it has received votes in favour of the STID Proposal from more than 75 per cent. of Participating Qualifying Borrower Secured Creditors by reference to the Outstanding Principal Amount of the aggregate Voted Qualifying Debt of such Participating Qualifying Borrower Secured Creditors. As such, the STID Proposal has been approved.
In addition, the Deed of Amendment implementing the amendments contained in the STID Proposal has been executed by the relevant parties thereto and therefore the Consent Conditions have been satisfied.
Accordingly, the modifications referred to in the STID Proposal and the Notice have been implemented with effect on and from 28 February 2019 and payment of any Consent Fee by the Issuer to eligible Class A Bondholders and other creditors is expected to be on or around 8 March 2019.
In response to the approval of the STID Proposal, Sally Ding, Director of Treasury and Corporate Finance, said:
"We are delighted with and appreciate the level of engagement that our creditors have provided in support of the consent proposal. The proposal ensures that the original intent of our financing agreements is maintained as accounting standards evolve."
Capitalised terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them in the Notice.
