The agreement stipulates a reduction of the financial liabilities owed to financing banks and central financing partners from 109 million Euros (as of September 30, 2013) to approximately 46 million Euros by late summer 2014 which consists of a waiver of debt by the financial creditors and the replacement of loans by one of the main shareholders. This results in a significant reduction of financial burdens of the remaining yearly redemption payments. The remaining obligations have a lifetime of up to 10 years and thus allow for a long-term and stable financial framework. Next to this debt relief it is intended to strengthen the company's equity by way of capital increases in an amount of maximum 48 million Euros. The agreed measures will provide HANSA GROUP with a significantly strengthened equity base by this summer and, at the same time, reduce its debt to a low level. Also liquidity will see a drastic improvement due to interest and financial repayment being partially dropped and the supply of fresh money. Thus the essential prerequisites have been set in order to further the already successfully commenced operational adaptation effort.
