Subordinated hybrid bonds
The bonds subscribed by the European Investment Bank (“EIB”) with a nominal value of EUR 190 million and PLN 750 million and by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (“BGK”) with a nominal value of PLN 400 million are subordinated, which means that in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of the issuer, the liabilities arising from the bonds will have priority of repayment only over the receivables of the Company shareholders. This, in turn positively affects the level of the net debt / EBITDA ratio calculation, since the bonds are excluded from the calculation of this ratio, a covenant in a part of financing agreements concluded by the Company. Additionally, 50% of the subordinated bond amount has been classified by the rating agency as equity in the rating model, which has had a beneficial effect on the rating of the TAURON Group.
