KINEPOLIS GROUP NV Regulatory release (within the meaning of the Belgian Royal Decree of November 14, 2007 on the obligations of issuers of financial instruments admitted to trading on a regulated market)
Announcement pursuant to article 32 of the Belgian Royal Decree of April 27, 2007 on public takeover bids
3 June 2015
On 12 May 2015, Kinepolis Group NV launched an unconditional public exchange offer in Belgium (the "Echange Offer") on all outstanding €75,000,000 fixed-rate bonds with a gross nominal interest rate of 4.75% per year (ISIN BE0002183490) and maturing on 6 March 2019 ("Existing Bonds"). By this voluntary exchange offer, Kinepolis Group NV wished to further extend its debts and their maturity over time.
Exchange Offer Terms
The holders of the Existing Bonds had the opportunity to exchange their Existing Bonds for bonds with a nominal value of €1,000, a gross nominal interest rate of 4.000% per year (ISIN BE0002228949) and a term of 8 years, maturing on 9 June 2023 ("New Bonds").
The net actuarial yield of the New Bonds, calculated in economic terms, for natural persons domiciled in Belgium (taking into account the income tax payable by the investors on 12 May 2015, including the 25% Belgian withholding tax), amounts to 1.655% per year (calculated on the basis of a reference market price of the Existing Bonds of 110.000% on 12 May 2015, and on the assumption that the New Bonds are retained until their maturity date).
Result of the Exchange Offer
At the end of the exchange period on 1 June 2015 (4.00 p.m. CET), 15,878 Existing Bonds were tendered into the exchange offer, representing an aggregate nominal amount of €15,878,000. The exchange offer will not be re-opened. The Existing Bonds exchanged in the exchange offer will be cancelled by Kinepolis Group NV.
As a consequence, 59,122 Existing Bonds will remain outstanding. Existing Bonds that were not tendered in the exchange offer will remain listed on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext Brussels until their final maturity date.
Settlement
The 15,878 New Bonds, representing an aggregate nominal amount of €15,878,000, will be issued on 9 June 2015. The New Bonds will be listed on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext Brussels.
The accrued but unpaid interest since 6 March 2015 on the Existing Bonds exchanged in the exchange offer, will be paid on 9 June 2015.
Dealer Managers
In this operation, BNP Paribas Fortis, ING Bank and KBC Bank act as dealer managers. KBC Bank also acts as global coordinator.
