PRESS RELEASE
APPROVAL OF THE DRAFT SAFEGUARD PLAN BY THE
CREDITORS’ COMMITTEE
Paris (France), 6 July 2020 –
Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) (the
« Company ») and SELARL FHB, represented by Me
Hélène Bourbouloux and Gaël Couturier, in their capacity as
judicial administrators appointed as such by a ruling of the
commercial court of Paris dated 22 June 2020 (the
« Judicial Administrator »), herein announce that,
in the framework of the meeting held on 5 July 2020 and convened by
the Judicial Administrator, the lenders' committee under the
accelerated financial safeguard procedure, approved the draft
safeguard plan at a majority of 100% of the creditors who cast a
vote.
This is a significant milestone for the Company,
and the next key milestone will be the Shareholders Meeting which
will be held on 20th July 2020 behind closed doors, without the
physical presence of the shareholders, given the sanitary
situation. A strong participation, necessary to achieve the quorum
requirement, and a positive shareholder vote in favour of all the
resolutions at this meeting, are of the utmost importance for the
Company’s future, as this will facilitate the implementation of the
safeguard plan, opening a new chapter to the Company’s
development.
Otherwise, Technicolor will have no choice but
to ask the court to initiate receivership (redressement judiciaire)
or liquidation proceedings, in which case quasi all the Company’s
assets could be attributed or sold to the New Money providers and
existing lenders allowing the continuation of the Group’s
activities (at the subsidiaries’ level) and the trading with
clients and suppliers, thanks to a reinforced financial structure.
However, in such situation, the shares of the Company would lose
all or quasi all of their value.
Voting instructions and the voting form are
available on the Company’s website
(https://www.technicolor.com/investor-center/shareholders-meeting).
The voting form must be received no later than July 17, 2020.
Shareholders voting through Votaccess will have until July 19,
2020, 3 pm (Paris time) to submit their votes.
