* * * *
Note: The Bondholders– meeting held on April 5, 2012 approved and confirmed
the decision taken by a previous meeting of the Bondholders held on January
27, 2012 to approve the substitution of all the OG Bonds (for ca. their
total nominal value, premium and coupon interest as at the maturity) into
convertible bonds (obligations convertibles) to be issued by OPG and
convertible into OPG shares, OG shares or cash, in compliance with the
provisions of article 94-2 of the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 on
commercial companies, as amended from time to time. However, during the
Bondholders– meeting held on April 5, 2012, the Bondholders present at such
meeting, resolved to slightly amend the terms and conditions of the
convertible bonds to be issued by OPG in exchange of OG Bonds and
therefore, the realisation of such substitution of the OG Bonds against
convertible bonds was still subject to the approval by the board of
directors of OPG of the amended terms and conditions of the convertible
bonds, such approval being not yet granted at the date of the present
notice. Accordingly, implementation of the conversion of the OG Bonds into
convertible bonds is for the moment suspended.
In the meantime, it is explained that (i) an ad-hoc committee of holders of
bonds issued by OPG (representing approximately 1/3 of the nominal value of
the bonds issued by OPG) and (ii) approximately 60.7% of the Bondholders
reached an agreement on April 17, 2012 on a proposed global restructuring
of the bond debt of the Company and OPG, in the terms and conditions
described in Annex A (the –Transaction–). Therefore, this Bondholders
Meeting is convened to resolve on the modification regarding the
substitution of OG Bonds against OCA, in the context of the Transaction.
The Bondholders Meeting shall not validly deliberate on the agenda
mentioned above, unless at least one half of the total number of the OG
Bonds outstanding at the time of the Bondholders Meeting is represented.
If such proportion of the total number of the OG Bonds is not met, a second
meeting may be convened, by means of notices published twice at eight days
interval at least and eight days before the meeting in the Mémorial C,
Recueil des Sociétés et Associations and in a Luxembourg newspaper. The
second meeting shall validly deliberate regardless of the proportion of the
OG Bonds represented.
At both meetings, resolutions, in order to be adopted, must be carried by
at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the Bondholders present or
represented.
The Bondholders participation form which is necessary to participate to the
Bondholders Meeting is at the disposal of the Bondholders as from the date
of publication of the present notice, at the registered office of the
Company upon request or downloaded from the Company–s website at
