OHLA - comment
The banks have reduced guarantee exposure to OHLA but will release €100m of €140m in cash collateral, which is a positive for OHLA. The state export credit guarantee company is stepping in to pick up most (but not all) of the slack. OHLA is inching towards an agreement with its bondholders for the repayment of the 2025 tranche, with the 2026 tranche extended to 2029. OHLA is talking to bondholders representing 33% of the notes it will need to get to 75% to bond the rest. However, we expect an agreement to be reached as bondholders will not want to forgo the equity injection and take over a business during a liquidity crisis. OHLA still needs to find €40m of the €150m promised from minority shareholders. The banks had always targeted €150m, so the implication is that they do not expect to see that equity gap bridged. We are preparing a detailed update on OHLA. The EGM is on 21st October, where all of the various pieces will need to be approved.
