GSM Announces potential financing arrangements being discussed
Ferroglobe Announces Discussions with Ad Hoc Group of Noteholders and Key Financial Partners
Ferroglobe PLC (the “Company”) entered into confidentiality agreements (the “Confidentiality Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Ad Hoc Group of Noteholders”) of the 9.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) issued by the Company and Globe Specialty Metals, Inc., to facilitate discussions addressing the maturity of the Notes and the introduction of further capital to the Company.
The key highlights of the potential financing arrangements being discussed between the AHG and the Company are as follows:
A major recapitalization of the business with $100 million of additional liquidity which guarantees sufficient funding to implement the Company’s strategic plan
$60 million of new super senior notes provided by existing Noteholders
$40 million of new equity funding
Significant extension of the Company’s debt maturity profile as a result of a par exchange of the Notes with new senior secured notes with a 5 year tenor
Equity allocation of 3.75% to all supporting holders of the Notes facilitating greater alignment of all stakeholders with management on strategy and long-term value creation
The Company is negotiating with key stakeholders, including its largest shareholder Grupo Villar Mir, S.A.U., the injection of equity that is required to implement the proposed plan and is aiming to enter into a binding agreement with the Ad Hoc Group of Noteholders and equity providers reflecting the outcome of the discussions as soon as possible (although no assurance can be made that the discussions will be successful or that the new funding will be implemented).
The contemplated financings offer Ferroglobe a stronger balance sheet and incremental capital which, in turn, provide a sound foundation for transforming the Company.
the Company has been diligently evaluating various refinancing options to address its senior notes, alongside raising incremental capital.
Collectively we are working towards a comprehensive financing that eliminates near-term refinancing risks, providing greater operational flexibility, and secures cash for the implementation of our plan.
