Seat PagineGialle S.P.A. External Review

On November 28, 2011, the EMEA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee (the "DC") voted on the question of whether a Failure to Pay Credit Event had occurred in respect of SEAT PAGINEGIALLE S.P.A. The relevant supermajority of DC members required for the question to be decided was not reached.

The DC Rules provide that where the DC does not reach a supermajority on a question raised to it, the question is to be referred to a panel of three independent experts who will decide the question. This page contains details of that External Review process.
