As one of the final steps in the implementation of its Recapitalisation Transaction, Intrum is pleased to invite each Noteholder to:
(i) claim its Exchange Note and Noteholder Ordinary Share entitlements; and
(ii) (at each Noteholder’s option) participate in the rights offering to subscribe for up to its pro rata share of New Money Notes, or to appoint a nominee to participate (subject to subscriber eligibility),
in each case in accordance with Intrum’s Chapter 11 Plan and Swedish Reorganisation Plan.
It is strongly recommended that Noteholders claim their entitlements in accordance with the below instructions by the specified deadline. Exchange Note and Noteholder Ordinary Share entitlements that are not claimed by Noteholders will be delivered to the designated holding period trustee, and Noteholders will need to take additional steps to retrieve such entitlements.

Closing of the Recapitalisation Transaction is expected to occur by mid-July. On the closing date (i) the Exchange Notes and New Money Notes will be issued, (ii) the Noteholder Ordinary Shares will be distributed and (iii) the existing Notes will be cancelled. The Company currently expects that pending regulatory approvals required to complete the hive-down will be received prior to the closing date.
