Ref.: Central Puerto S.A. – Partial payment and refinancing of debt under the terms of Communication “A” 7106 of the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (“BCRA”).
Ladies and gentleman:
I am pleased to address you, in my capacity as Head of Market Relations of Central Puerto S.A. (the “Company”), located at Avenue Thomas Edison 2701, City of Buenos Aires, in relation to the Loan Agreement that the Company signed with Citibank N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding INC. for an amount of US $ 180 million (the “Loan”) to fund the acquisition of the Brigadier López Plant.
In compliance with the provisions of Communication “A” 7106 of the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (“BCRA”), the Company has presented to the BCRA a new repayment schedule for the Loan, which includes the refinancing of the first principal installment of the Loan for the sum of US $ 36 million that matured today and has not been paid by the Company, which would constitute an “Event of Default” under Section 8.1 (a) of the Loan.
However, the Company has entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the creditors under the Loan (the “Forbearance Agreement”) by means of which the creditors have agreed not to take any judicial or extrajudicial action to claim their rights of collection under the Loan until December 21, 2020 and they have agreed to negotiate in good faith certain modifications to the Loan prior to the end of the forbearance period. In said Forbearance Agreement, the new amortization scheme presented by the Company to the BCRA has also been included.
Likewise, as part of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company made today the payment of all the interests owed under the Loan and must make the payment of 40% of the principal installment mentioned before (plus the corresponding interest for the days elapsed) on or before December 18, 2020.
Without further news, I remain sincerely Yours,
Leonardo Marinaro
Head of Market Relations
CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.
