10.1The last steps in one paragraph

Sanction does not change any debt by itself. The court’s order binds creditors once it is published, but the plan takes effect on a later day, when all its conditions are met. On that day the Notes are cancelled and the new Notes are issued, with the shares. Valkenrade is a Dutch company, so one question remains: will a court in its home country respect the order?

Key point

The debts change only on the effective date. Until then, the Notes still stand.
