Investor Update summary
9 Jan, 2026Recapitalization process overview
Severe market deterioration in early 2023 led to a sharp stock price drop and bond discounts, with rating agencies downgrading to single C levels.
Over €3.5 billion in debt maturities loomed through 2026, prompting the hiring of Houlihan Lokey and Milbank for advisory support.
Two main bondholder groups emerged; after negotiations, a lock-up agreement was reached with the long-end group, covering the entire capital structure.
73% of bondholders and 97% of banks supported the recapitalization plan, with subsequent repayment of 2024 maturities at par.
A pre-packaged Chapter 11 was filed in the US, receiving 100% RCF bank and 82% bondholder support, and was confirmed by the court despite minority opposition.
Swedish reorganization and next steps
The Swedish reorganization is the final step, independent from Chapter 11, with a creditor vote expected in March and completion likely in Q2.
Locked-up creditors are legally committed to support the plan; all creditors will have standing in the Swedish process.
Delays are possible but limited to a few weeks, with agreements in place to pursue recapitalization through May or June if needed.
If the Swedish court does not approve, alternatives will be considered, but the Chapter 11 outcome remains effective for much of the capital structure.
Financial impact and bondholder implications
Legal and advisory costs are significant, in the tens of millions of euros, but are proportionate to the €5 billion debt being restructured.
Deferred and accrued interest, as well as consent fees, will be settled in cash or in kind at closing, expected in Q2.
Old bonds will be exchanged for new bonds, and bondholders will receive 10% of company shares, distributed proportionally.
The recapitalization will result in a 10% debt write-down and further deleveraging through bond repurchases.
