The EMEA DC met on 6 January 2025 and agreed to publish the final Auction Settlement Terms in relation to Intrum AB.
Please review the Auction Settlement Terms in full, including the revisions made to the final Auction Settlement Terms which include amongst, other things, an express requirement to take any procedural steps required (if any) such that upon Delivery, the Seller is entitled to the rights under the Chapter 11 Plan (such as delivering the Deliverable Obligations prior to any record date under the Chapter 11 Plan and giving any required notices). This requirement is without prejudice to the provisions permitting a supplement to the Auction Settlement Terms following the effectiveness of such Chapter 11 Plan.
As highlighted in relation to the draft Auction Settlement Terms, the final Auction Settlement Terms include a provision stating that:
“In connection with the settlement of Representative Auction-Settled Transactions, (A) in accordance with Section 11.2(b) of the 2014 Definitions, a Seller under a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction (including any relevant business unit of a Seller through which such Seller is entering into, booking or otherwise acts in respect of such Representative Auction-Settled Transaction, as confirmed by the Seller in its sole discretion) is not obliged to adhere to any lock-up agreement or co-operation agreement or otherwise enter into any arrangement to participate in any new money financing of the Reference Entity, and (B) a Buyer cannot Deliver to Seller any Deliverable Obligation which is subject to any lock-up agreement or co-operation agreement under a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction where the Seller intends to on-Deliver such Deliverable Obligation to any other Seller under any other Representative Auction-Settled Transaction (including any relevant business unit of the relevant Seller through which such Seller is entering into, booking or otherwise acts in respect of such Representative Auction-Settled Transaction, as confirmed by such Seller in its sole discretion) who would be required to adhere to any lock-up agreement or co-operation agreement or otherwise enter into any arrangement to participate in any new money financing of the Reference Entity in order to take Delivery of such Deliverable Obligation. The list of Participating Bidders published by the Administrators under Section 1 of these Auction Settlement Terms does not specify the identity of the business unit that a Participating Bidder may be entering into, booking or otherwise acting in respect of a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction in respect of which it is the Seller. Notwithstanding this, each Participating Bidder and each PB Auction Affiliate may be entering into, booking or otherwise acting in respect of a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction in respect of which it is the Seller through a business unit. ”
