TORM obtains the required creditor consents at Scheme of Arrangement meetings

Udgivet den 25-06-2015  |  kl. 13:51  |  

As part of the implementation of the new Restructuring Agreement, TORM has initiated an English law Scheme of Arrangement (cf. announcement no. 10 of 12 May 2015). TORM is pleased to announce that the Scheme that it is proposing under each of its four loan facilities has been approved by its lenders at the Scheme meetings which were held earlier today.

TORM will now apply for the Scheme to be sanctioned by the High Court of England and Wales on 30 June 2015. Provided the Scheme is sanctioned, TORM will then deliver the sanction order to Companies House on or around Wednesday, 1 July 2015 – the Lodgement Date. Upon the occurrence of the Lodgement Date, the Scheme will become effective.

TORM will then be able to implement the final steps to complete the Restructuring with an expected Restructuring Completion Date around mid-July 2015.

Safe Harbor statements as to the future
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and statements other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect,” “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, the Company cannot guarantee that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward- looking statements include the strength of the world economy and currencies, changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand for “ton miles” of oil carried by oil tankers, the effect of changes in OPEC’s petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking, changes in TORM’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in the regulation of shipping operations, including requirements for double hull tankers or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, political events or acts by terrorists.

Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current evaluation, and TORM is only under an obligation to update and change the listed expectations to the extent required by law.
