The Company was established to invest in aircraft. The Company is a holding company and made its investment in aircraft held through two wholly owned subsidiaries, DP Aircraft Guernsey III Limited and DP Aircraft Guernsey IV Limited (collectively and hereinafter, the 'Borrowers'), each being a Guernsey incorporated company limited by shares and one intermediate lessor company, DP Aircraft UK Limited (the 'Lessor'), a UK incorporated private limited company. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, DP Aircraft Guernsey III Limited, DP Aircraft Guernsey IV Limited and DP Aircraft UK Limited comprise the consolidated Group (the 'Group').

Pursuant to the Company's prospectus dated 27 September 2013, the Company offered 113,000,000 ordinary shares of no-par value at an issue price of US$ 1.00 per ordinary share by means of a placing. The Company's ordinary shares were admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange on 4 October 2013 and the Company was listed on the Channel Islands Securities Exchange until 27 May 2015.

On 13 July 2022, the Company raised gross proceeds of US$750,000, due to lender restrictions on the DPA 1 Limited Topco balance, through the issue of 30,000,000 additional ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at a price of US$0.025 per share. These additional ordinary shares were admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange on 15 July 2022.

SUMMARY (CONTINUED)

CORONAVIRUS ('COVID-19 ')

COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the airline sector, and by extension the aircraft leasing sector. More information is provided below and in the Asset Manager's Report.

THAI AIRWAYS INTERNATIONAL PCL ('THAI AIRWAYS' / 'THAI')

The suspension of travel due to COVID-19 in 2020 resulted in Thai Airways entering into business rehabilitation. The Central Bankruptcy Court approved Thai's Business Rehabilitation plan on 15 June 2021, the rehabilitation process is currently ongoing. Please refer to the Asset Manager Report on pages 11 to 18 for details regarding the rehabilitation process.

The Group signed a Letter of Intent ('LOI') dated 1 March 2021 with Thai Airways under which the parties agreed to amend the lease terms that existed then. The actual lease agreement reflecting the terms set out in the LOI was signed on 1 April 2022. The effective date for the lease modification was 15 June 2021.

The new lease terms provided for a power by the hour ('PBH') arrangement until 31 December 2022 (with rent payable by reference to actual monthly utilisation of the Thai aircraft and engines), with scaled back monthly fixed lease payments thereafter until October 2026 for aircraft MSN 36110 and December 2026 for aircraft MSN 35320 reflecting reduced market rates in the long-haul market. The lease term can be extended for a further 3 years to October and December 2029 respectively, with further scaled back monthly lease payments starting from November 2026 and January 2027 respectively. The Extension Period is however subject to agreement with the Group after consulting the Lenders. Given the uncertainty around the lease extension, the lease terms are considered to be the period up to October and December 2026.

A corresponding agreement was reached with the lenders as detailed below.

DEKABANK DEUTSCHE GIROZENTRALE AND THREE OTHER CONSORTIUM MEMBERS ('DekaBank')

On 6 May 2021, subsequent to the LOI being entered into by the Group and Thai as described above, the Group and DekaBank amended and restated the existing loan facility agreements in respect of the Thai aircraft to accommodate the new lease terms, the First Amendment and Restatement to the Loan Agreements. Repayments of principal were deferred until after the end of the PBH arrangement (31 December 2022), and a new repayment schedule was to be renegotiated close to the end of the PBH arrangement.

On 7 February 2023, the Group and DekaBank entered into a Second Amendment and Restatement to the Loan Agreement (the 'Loan Agreement') in which the parties agreed on the following main terms:

  • the total loan amount outstanding was split into two tranches:
    o Facility A is a loan of US$ 61,144,842, made up of MSN 35320 loan of US$ 31,099,453 and MSN 36110 loan of US$ 30,045,389. The Facility A loan amortizes to a combined balloon of US$ 33,947,878 and represents the scheduled debt.
    o Facility B is a loan of US$ 35,504,024 (non-amortizing), made up of MSN 35320 loan of US$ 17,366,650 and MSN 36110 loan of US$ 18,137,374. The Facility B loan will be settled as a balloon payment at the end of the loan term in 2026.
  • US$ 2.36m of surplus cash generated under the PBH period was used to immediately repay debt on the amortizing Facility A loan in February 2023, while an agreed cash reserve of US$ 500,000 per aircraft will be retained to cover unforeseen costs going forward.
