Corporation’s (”Company” or “Valoe”) administrator, Mr Pekka
Jaatinen, Attorney, filed a proposal for the restructuring
programme for the Company with the North Savo District Court on 24
June 2024. The objective of the restructuring programme is to
restore the Company’s business, maintain its competitiveness in its
industry and restructure the Company's debts only to the extent
necessary to achieve the Company's restructuring objective. Efforts
have been made to build some flexibility into the restructuring
programme by offering creditors the possibility to convert
unsecured restructuring debt into shares in the Company. The
remainder of the unsecured restructuring debt will be subject to a
payment schedule that has been prepared in accordance with the
Restructuring of Enterprises Act.
Main content of the restructuring programme proposal:
- To restore the Company's business, the amount of unsecured
debts will be cut by 90%. However, the creditors have the right to
convert the amount of the cut debt into shares in the Company
instead of a cash payment.
- The non-preferred debts subject to conversion rights amount
approximately to EUR 15.1 million. If all the non-preferred debts
are converted into shares, the conversion right under the
restructuring programme will significantly dilute the shareholder's
ownership.
- The unsecured debts included in Valoe's restructuring programme
amount approximately to EUR 15.14 million. EUR 500,000.00 of the
Company's restructuring debts is secured by collateral and EUR
101,452.80 of the restructuring debts are secured by a business
mortgage.
- The restructuring programme includes the right for
non-preferential creditors to convert their claims into shares of
the Company by giving a binding and irrevocable notice to the
Company within two weeks of the approval of the restructuring
programme.
- The Company's non-preferential creditors, excluding disputed
debts and debts the basis or amount of which is conditional or
unclear, have the right to convert the cut part of their claim into
shares in the Company.
- By converting his claim into shares in the Company, a creditor
has the opportunity to benefit from a possible increase in the
share price and to sell his holdings on the stock exchange, thus
settling his restructuring claim.
- The duration of the Company's payment schedule, based on the
cash flow statement, is five years, starting in May 2025 and ending
in November 2029. Both unsecured and secured debt are proposed to
be repaid twice a year between 2025 and 2029. The payments will be
made annually in May and November.
- The company has the right to early repayment of the
restructuring debts under the conditions set out in the
restructuring programme proposal.
- Interest is paid on the secured debt to cover the present value
of the collateral, in arrears with each instalment. No interest is
paid on unsecured debts.
We would like to thank the Company’s creditors, administrator,
customers, personnel and other stakeholders for their patience and
good cooperation. We believe that the solutions proposed in the
restructuring programme proposal will enable us to achieve the best
possible outcome for all parties involved. The restructuring,
together with the cost reductions and several other operational
measures already made, would improve Valoe's chances of securing
long-term financing. The Company requires new financing to develop
and grow its business. Valoe aims to achieve a significant position
as a supplier of solar energy applications for, inter alia,
vehicles and portable electronic equipment.
