2.     Securities Act Exemption Available

 

The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption

 

Registration of the £425,000,000 8.75% fixed rate senior secured notes due 2020 (the “New Senior Notes”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is not required by reason of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (“Section 3(a)(10)”). Section 3(a)(10) provides an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act for:

 

“any security which is issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests, or partly in such exchange and partly for cash, where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange shall have the right to appear, by any court…”

 

If issued, the New Senior Notes will be issued in connection with the reorganisation (the “Reorganisation”) of the corporate group of Towergate Finance plc (“TG Finance” and, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates including the Issuer following the Reorganisation, the “Group”) under creditor schemes of arrangement (each, a “Scheme of Arrangement”) pursuant to Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (United Kingdom), as amended (the “Companies Act”). In accordance with the Companies Act, each Scheme of Arrangement requires (i) approval of the relevant scheme by a majority in number and three-fourths in value of the relevant class of creditors entitled to vote in one or more meetings of the relevant classes of creditors; (ii) sanctioning of the scheme that has been approved by the requisite majority of the relevant classes of creditors by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the “Court”) following a hearing (the “Sanctioning Hearing”); and (iii) filing of the relevant court order for registration. The Reorganisation will not take effect unless, among other things, the Court sanctions the Schemes of Arrangement. If so approved, the issuance of the New Senior Notes in the Reorganisation will be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act under Section 3(a)(10).

 

 
1 TIG Finco Limited is presently registered as a private limited company but will be re-registered as a public limited company as part of the Reorganisation.
 

Background to the Reorganisation

 

The Group is an insurance intermediary group distributing general insurance products in the United Kingdom. At present, Advent Tower (Luxembourg) SARL owns directly or indirectly 68.42% of the voting share capital of the Group’s ultimate parent company, Towergate Partnershipco Limited. The remainder of the voting share capital of Towergate Partnershipco Limited is held by a combination of existing and former management. TG Finance is a 100% indirect subsidiary of Towergate Partnershipco Limited.

 

TG Finance is currently the parent company of Towergate Insurance Limited (“TG Insurance”), which is an operating company of the Group. TG Finance has senior secured liabilities in the form of £233,980,000 8.5% fixed rate senior secured notes due 2018, £396,000,000 floating rate senior secured notes due 2018 and a £85,000,000 revolving credit facility (together the “Existing Senior Secured Debt”), as well as senior unsecured notes in the form of £304,593,000 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the “Existing Unsecured Notes”).

 

The Group’s trading performance since mid-2014, coupled with the significant risk that it may have material liabilities under certain ongoing regulatory investigations into historic business practices, has resulted in the Group facing financial difficulties particularly in the context of its debt service obligations. As a result, TG Finance has, since November 2014, been in dialogue with its creditors and other stakeholders with a view to restructuring its capital structure and financial obligations. As a result of these restructuring discussions, TG Finance has commenced the implementation of the Reorganisation through the Schemes of Arrangement.

 

Under the terms of the Reorganisation and as described in the scheme documents (the “Scheme Document”) relating to the Schemes of Arrangement of the creditors for the Existing Senior Secured Debt (the “Secured Creditors”) included as Exhibit T3E herein, the Reorganisation will take the form of either the Composite Restructuring (as defined in the Scheme Document), which also involves the creditors of the Existing Unsecured Notes (the “Unsecured Creditors”) or the Senior Secured Restructuring (as defined in the Scheme Document). Under this “dual-track” structure, if certain milestones are met, the Composite Restructuring (as described below) will be consummated and the New Senior Notes will be issued. If these milestones are not met, the Senior Secured Restructuring (as described below) will be consummated and the New Senior Notes will not be issued. The Issuer has also filed an Application for Qualification of Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 on Form T-3 in respect of the debt securities to be issued in the Senior Secured Restructuring. The Issuer will withdraw the Application for Qualification of Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 on Form T-3 related to the securities that will not ultimately be issued in the Reorganisation.

 

The Issuer was formed in order to implement either the Composite Restructuring or the Senior Secured Restructuring. The Issuer is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of MidCo, which is in turn a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of TIG Topco Limited (“TopCo”), a private company incorporated in the Bailiwick of Jersey. Following the necessary votes of the relevant classes of creditors of the Group and the sanctioning of the Schemes of Arrangement by the Court, TG Finance will enter into administration and (acting by its administrators) will procure the transfer of the share capital of TG Insurance to the Issuer.

 

(a)The Composite Restructuring

 

Under the terms of the Schemes of Arrangement, if the Schemes of Arrangements are approved by the relevant classes of creditors and sanctioned by the Court and the conditions precedent to the Composite Restructuring described in the Scheme Document are satisfied or waived then, pursuant to the Composite Restructuring:

 

(1)each Secured Creditor will receive its pro rata share of: (i) payment of an aggregate cash amount of £250,000,000, (ii) the New Senior Notes, (iii) shares representing an aggregate 16.67% of the post restructuring share capital of TopCo and (iv) payment of an aggregate cash amount equal to any accrued interest in excess of £20,020,000 as at the date of completion of the Composite Restructuring;

 

(2)each Secured Creditor will also have the right to subscribe for its pro rata share of (i) the £75,000,000 floating rate super senior secured notes due 2020 (the “Super Senior Notes”) issued by the Issuer and (ii) shares representing an aggregate of approximately 2.69% of the post-restructuring share capital of TopCo, in each case to be issued in reliance on Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act; and

 

(3)each Unsecured Creditor will have the right to subscribe directly and indirectly for its pro rata share of shares in TopCo representing 80.65% of the post-restructuring share capital of TopCo.
2
(b)The Senior Secured Restructuring

 

Under the terms of the Schemes of Arrangement, if the Schemes of Arrangement are approved by the requisite majority of the Secured Creditors and sanctioned by the Court and the conditions for the Composite Restructuring are not satisfied or waived, the Senior Secured Restructuring will be implemented instead of the Composite Restructuring. Pursuant to the Senior Secured Restructuring:

 

(1)each Secured Creditor will receive its pro rata share of (i) the £375,000,000 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020 issued by the Issuer, (ii) the £150,000,000 12.0% fixed rate subordinated payment-in-kind notes due 2025 (the “PIK Notes”) issued by MidCo and (iii) 100% of the post restructuring share capital of TopCo; and

 

(2)each Secured Creditor will also have the right to subscribe for its pro rata share of the £75,000,000 floating rate super senior secured notes due 2020 to be issued by the Issuer in reliance on Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

Under both the Composite Restructuring and the Senior Secured Restructuring, TG Insurance will become a direct subsidiary of the Issuer and all of its current subsidiaries will become indirect subsidiaries of the Issuer.

 

The issuance of the New Senior Notes as part of the Composite Restructuring will satisfy the required elements of the Section 3(a)(10) exemption, which are:

 

(i)The securities must be issued in exchange for securities, claims, or property interests.

 

As described above and within the Scheme Document, if the Composite Restructuring is consummated, the New Senior Notes (along with other consideration) will be issued in exchange for the Existing Senior Secured Debt.

 

(ii)A court or authorized governmental entity must approve the fairness of the terms and conditions of the exchange.

 

The Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance: Staff Legal Bulletin No. 3A sets forth the view of the Commission that the term “court” in Section 3(a)(10) includes a foreign court. In addition, the Staff of the Commission has recognized the Court acting under the Companies Act as a court qualified to approve the fairness of an exchange pursuant to Section 3(a)(10). See, e.g., Xyratex Group Limited No-Action Letter (available May 29, 2002); Global Telesystems No-Action Letter (available June 14, 2001).

 

Measures will be taken to provide relevant information and timely notice to the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Scheme Document), including circulation of the Scheme Document. In advance of the Sanctioning Hearing, the parties will vote on whether to approve the Schemes of Arrangement. After approval of the Schemes of Arrangement by the required majorities of Secured Creditors, the Court will hold the Sanctioning Hearing to approve the Schemes of Arrangement.

 

(iii)The reviewing court or authorized governmental entity must find, before approving the transaction, that the terms and conditions of the exchange are fair to those to whom securities will be issued and be advised before the hearing that the issuer will rely on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption based on the court’s or authorized governmental entity’s approval of the transaction.

 

The Court will determine the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Reorganisation and be advised in advance of the Sanctioning Hearing that its ruling will be the basis for claiming an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(10).

 

(iv)The court or authorized governmental entity must hold a hearing before approving the fairness of the terms and conditions of the transaction.

 

Pursuant to Part 26 of the Companies Act, the Court is required to hold a Sanctioning Hearing in order to approve the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Schemes of Arrangement under the Reorganisation.

3
(v)A governmental entity must be expressly authorized by law to hold the hearing, although it is not necessary that the law require the hearing.

 

The Court is expressly authorized to hold the Sanctioning Hearing by Part 26 of the Companies Act.

 

(vi)The fairness hearing must be open to everyone to whom securities would be issued in the proposed exchange.

 

All Secured Creditors will be entitled to appear at the Sanctioning Hearing and dissenting Secured Creditors will have an opportunity to voice their objections.

 

(vii)Adequate notice must be given to everyone to whom securities would be issued in the proposed exchange.

 

Pertinent information, as provided in the Scheme Document, will be provided to relevant Secured Creditors in such a manner as to ensure that such parties receive timely and effective notice.

 

(viii)There cannot be any improper impediments to the appearance at the hearing by those persons.

 

There will be no impediments to the appearance of any Secured Creditors at the Sanctioning Hearing.

3.     Affiliates

 

In addition to the Issuer, MidCo and TopCo, a diagram of subsidiary undertakings and associate companies of the Group, prior to the Reorganisation, is included as Exhibit T3H.1 herein. All entities are wholly owned by their respective parent unless otherwise indicated on the chart.

 

In addition to the ownership structure disclosed in Exhibit T3H.1, prior to the Reorganisation, Advent Tower (Luxembourg) SARL holds 68.42% of the voting rights in the holding structure and Mr. Peter Cullum holds 19.11% of the voting rights.

 

Following the consummation of the Reorganisation, under both the Composite Restructuring and the Senior Secured Restructuring, TG Insurance will become a direct subsidiary of the Issuer and all its current subsidiaries will become indirect subsidiaries of the Issuer.

 

TopCo is a direct parent of MidCo. Following the consummation of the Reorganisation, the Issuer will become a direct subsidiary of MidCo. The list of all subsidiary undertakings and associate companies of the Issuer will thus also include MidCo and TopCo.

 

Depending on the result of elections under the scheme of arrangement of the Unsecured Creditors, if the Composite Restructuring is consummated it is likely that certain funds and accounts advised and/or managed by Highbridge Principal Strategies, LLC (an indirect subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.) will together, through direct and indirect investments, represent the largest shareholder of Topco.

 

A diagram showing all subsidiary undertakings and associate companies of the Group after the Composite Restructuring is included as Exhibit T3H.2 herein.

 

Certain directors and executive officers of the Issuer and the Guarantors may also be deemed to be “affiliates” of the Issuer by virtue of their positions with the Issuer. See Item 4, “Directors and Executive Officers.”

The following is a general description of certain provisions of the Indenture, qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit T3C. All capitalized and otherwise undefined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

 

(A)     Events of Default

 

(a) An “Event of Default” means any of the following events:

 

(i)a default for 30 days in the payment when due of any interest or any Additional Amounts on any New Senior Note;

(x)one or more final judgments, orders or decrees (not subject to appeal and not covered by insurance) shall be rendered against the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary, either individually or in an aggregate amount, in excess of £20.0 million, and either a creditor shall have commenced an enforcement proceeding upon such judgment, order or decree or there shall have been a period of 60 consecutive days or more during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, order or decree was not (by reason of pending appeal or otherwise) in effect;

 

(xi)the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganisation, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary under any applicable law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary or of any substantial part of their respective properties or ordering the winding up or liquidation of their affairs, and any such decree, order or appointment pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law for relief shall continue to be in effect, or any such other decree, appointment or order shall be unstayed and in effect, for a period of 100 consecutive days; or

Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts or interest on any New Senior Notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Holders of such New Senior Notes if a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless a Trust Officer has actual knowledge of such Default or written notice of such Default has been received by the Trustee. The Issuer shall also notify the Trustee within 15 Business Days of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default stating what action, if any, it is taking with respect to that Default or Event of Default.

 

(B)     Authentication and Delivery of the Indenture Securities and Application of Proceeds

 

Authentication

 

An authorized member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors or an executive officer of the Issuer shall sign the New Senior Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

 

If an authorized member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors or an executive officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

21

A Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 

Upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall (whether itself or via the authenticating agent) authenticate (a) Original Notes, on the date hereof, for original issue up to an aggregate principal amount of £425,000,000 and (b) Additional Notes, from time to time, subject to compliance at the time of issuance of such Additional Notes with the provisions of Section 4.06 (Limitation on Debt) of the Indenture. Any issue of Additional Notes that is to utilize the same ISIN number as a Note already issued hereunder shall be effected in a manner and under circumstances whereby the issue of Additional Notes is treated as a “qualified reopening” (within the meaning of US Treas. Reg. §1.1275-2(k)(3), or any successor provision, all as in effect at the time of the further issue) of the issue of New Senior Notes having the shared ISIN number, as the case may be.

 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the New Senior Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such authenticating agent may authenticate New Senior Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by any such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, co-Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent to deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any New Senior Notes under Section 2.02 (Execution and Authentication) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

 

Delivery

 

The New Senior Notes will initially be delivered through the book-entry facilities of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, and Euroclear SA/NV. In certain limited circumstances, New Senior Notes may also be executed and delivered in definitive form.

 

Application of Proceeds

 

The Indenture does not regulate the application of the proceeds of the issuance of the New Senior Notes. The New Senior Notes will be issued in connection with the Reorganisation and there will be no cash proceed to the Issuer in connection with such issuance.

 

(C)     Release or Release and Substitution of Property Subject to Lien

 

(a) Upon (i) confirmation in writing from the Trustee of the full and final payment and performance of all obligations under the Indenture and the New Senior Notes; (ii) confirmation in writing from the Trustee of the surrender of all outstanding New Senior Notes issued under the Indenture to the Trustee for cancellation; (iii) the release of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the RSA Intercreditor Agreement, any additional intercreditor agreement and the Security Documents (which terms, in the event of an inconsistency with the terms of the Indenture, will prevail); or (iv) any other release of the Collateral as security for obligations of the Issuer or a Guarantor under the Indenture, the Security Agent shall disclaim and give up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Security Documents, and shall no longer be deemed to hold the Lien in the Collateral for the benefit of the Holders.

 

(b) Liens granted by a Guarantor (and the Liens, if any, over the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) will be automatically and unconditionally released (and, upon request of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the Security Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Holder but with notice to the Trustee) take such actions at the direction of the Issuer as shall be required to release such Liens):

 

(i)upon any sale or disposition of (A) Capital Stock of a Guarantor following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) all or substantially all the properties and assets of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer, a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Issuer and that complies with Section 4.09 (Limitation on Sale of Certain Assets) of the Indenture;
22
(ii)in connection with certain enforcement actions taken in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the RSA Intercreditor Agreement and any additional intercreditor agreement;

(c) Upon request of the Issuer or any Guarantor, in connection with any sale, lease, sale and leaseback, assignment, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of assets or property permitted by the Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 4.09 (Limitation on Sale of Certain Assets), 4.11 (Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control) and 4.13 (Additional Guarantees) of the Indenture), the Security Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Holder but with notice to the Trustee) take such actions at the direction of the Issuer as shall be required (as more particularly described in paragraph (e) below) to release its Security Interest in any Collateral being disposed of in such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such disposition in accordance with the Indenture and the Security Documents, and the Trustee and the Security Agent shall receive full payment therefor from the Issuer for any costs incurred thereby.

 

(d) Any release of Collateral made in compliance with this section shall not be deemed to impair the Lien under the Security Documents or the Collateral thereunder in contravention of the provisions of the Indenture or the Security Documents.

 

(e) In the event that the Issuer or any Guarantor seeks to release Collateral, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (upon which the Trustee and Security Agent shall conclusively rely in connection with such release) to the Trustee and the Security Agent setting forth that the specified release complies with the terms of the Indenture. Upon receipt of the Officer’s Certificate and if so requested by the Issuer or such Guarantor, the Security Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any reasonably necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to the Indenture.

 

(D)     Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

 

The Indenture (and all Liens on Collateral created pursuant to the Security Documents) shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights under Section 2.06 (Transfer and Exchange) of the Indenture as to all New Senior Notes issued thereunder when:

 

(a) the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or such other party as directed by the Trustee) as funds in trust for such purpose an amount in Sterling or U.K. Government Securities sufficient (in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment of any interest thereon, to pay and discharge the entire Debt on such New Senior Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of New Senior Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer shall have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of New Senior Notes at Maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, and either:

 

(i)all New Senior Notes previously authenticated and delivered (other than lost, stolen or destroyed New Senior Notes that have been replaced or paid and New Senior Notes for whose payment money has
23

(ii)all New Senior Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or (B) will become due and payable at Stated Maturity within one year or (C) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the Issuer’s name, and at the Issuer’s expense;

 

(b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuer under the Indenture; and

 

(c) the Issuer has delivered an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee each stating that: (x) all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied and (y) such satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture, the Security Documents or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Issuer or any Subsidiary is bound.

 

(E)     Evidence of Obligor Compliance with the Conditions and Covenants in the Indenture

 

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate that complies with Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of its duties as an officer of the Issuer he would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period and if any specifying such Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposed to take with respect thereto. For these purposes, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under the Indenture.

 

(b) If the Issuer shall become aware that (i) any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) any Holder seeks to exercise any remedy hereunder with respect to a claimed Default under the Indenture or the New Senior Notes, the Issuer shall immediately deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event, notice or other action (including any action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof).
