Regulatory News:
Exclusive Networks (Euronext Paris: EXN), a global leader in
cybersecurity, announced on July 24, 2024 that a consortium
comprising Clayton Dubilier & Rice and Everest UK HoldCo
Limited, an entity controlled by the Permira funds and the majority
shareholder of Exclusive Networks (the "Company"), were
contemplating to acquire a majority shareholding in the Company,
which would be followed by a simplified mandatory tender offer on
the remaining Company shares and, should the legal conditions be
met, the implementation of a squeeze-out following the offer (the
"Transaction").
In the context of the Transaction, and as also described in the
press release of July 24, 2024, it is contemplated that the Company
and its subsidiary Everest SubBidCo enter into new facilities
agreement in order to, among others, finance the payment of the
exceptional distribution approved by the shareholders meeting of
October 31, 2024, and generally to refinance the existing
indebtedness of the Group.
On November 4 and 29, 2024, the board of directors of the
Company approved the corresponding senior facilities agreement
under which the Company and Everest SubBidCo are borrowers (the
"Senior Facilities Agreement") and the intercreditor
agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement").
This Senior Facilities Agreement comprises (i) a term loan made
available to Everest SubBidCo divided into EUR and USD tranches of
maximum principal amounts of EUR 607,000,000 and USD 267,000,000
(respectively) and the USD tranche term loan is also made available
to Etna US Finco 1 LLC, (ii) two deferred term loans made available
to Everest SubBidCo for a combined maximum principal amount of EUR
235,000,000, and (iii) a revolving credit facility made available
to, among others, the Company and Everest SubBidCo for a maximum
principal amount of EUR 235,000,000.
A term loan divided into EUR and USD tranches of maximum
principal amounts of EUR 300,000,000 and USD 133,000,000
(respectively) is also made available to Etna French Bidco and, in
respect of the USD tranche, Etna US Finco 2 LLC to finance the
acquisition of control of the Company, the tender offer and, as the
case may be, the squeeze-out that will follow within the
Transaction.
The syndication of these facilities was successfully finalised
on December 5, 2024.
The Senior Facilities Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement
have therefore been executed on December 8, 2024 in accordance with
the aforementioned prior approvals of the board of directors of the
Company.
Information on the Senior Facilities Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement is available in the "Regulated Agreement"
section of the "Governance Documents" page of the Company's website
