AXACTOR OPTIMIZES STRUCTURE OF INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP WITH GEVERAN

The investment partnership has been organised through a portfolio investment company, LuxCo Invest 1 S.a.r.l. ("LuxCo Invest"), owned 50/50 by Axactor and Geveran. LuxCo Invest and Axactor have in turn held interests in the company Reolux Holding S.a.r.l. ("Reolux"), which made the investment into more than 4,000 Real Estate Owned (REO) assets announced on 15 November 2017. As part of the restructuring, Reolux will be carved out as a separate joint venture owned 50/50 by Axactor and Geveran and capitalised with EUR 40 million in equity. Further, Axactor will grant Reolux a loan of approximately EUR 126 million, which will be applied by Reolux to repay a loan from LuxCo Invest. LuxCo Invest will in turn apply these funds to repay EUR 80 million of the EUR 120 million subordinated loan notes previously provided by an affiliate of Geveran.

Following the restructuring LuxCo Invest will not hold any interests in Reolux, the companies will be stand-alone investment vehicles owned 50/50 by Axactor and Geveran and have separate funding arrangements. The restructuring is expected to be implemented in the near term, subject to execution of final documentation.
