IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE BUSINESS AND PROPERTY DIVISION INSOLVENCY AND COMPANIES LIST
CLAIM NO. CR-2033-000000
IN THE MATTER OF VALKENRADE HOLDING B.V. AND IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
for a restructuring plan under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 between
VALKENRADE HOLDING B.V. (incorporated with limited liability in the
Netherlands)
THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND NEEDS YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If the Court sanctions the
Plan, it will change your rights against the Plan Company. If in doubt, take your own advice at once.
This Explanatory Statement is sent under section 901D of the Companies Act 2006, with the notice of the Plan
Meetings, to explain the effect of the Plan.
The Plan Company cannot repay its debts when they fall due this year, and no lender will
refinance them. Without the Plan, the Group would go bankrupt, and Hollinde Bank and the Noteholders would
receive €30 for every €100 they are owed.
Under the Plan, each Noteholder receives €70 for every €100: €50 of New Notes at face value
and shares that the Valuer values at €20. Hollinde Bank is repaid in full and lends €50 million of new money. The
Family Shareholders pay €20 million for 20 in every 100 shares.
Hollinde Bank, the Family Shareholders and Noteholders holding €200 million of the
Existing Notes have signed the Lock-up Agreement. I and one other director belong to the family; Part 10 sets
out our interests.
The Management Board considers the Plan to be in the best interests of the Plan Company and its
creditors as a whole, and recommends that you vote for it, after reading the risks in Part 9.
Yours faithfully, The Chair of the Management Board, for and on behalf of Valkenrade
Holding B.V.
