Europcar Mobility Group reaches a new step with the opening on this December 14th, 2020 by the Paris Commercial Court (tribunal de commerce de Paris) of an accelerated financial safeguard proceedings (procédure de sauvegarde financière accélérée) for its benefit.

The accelerated financial safeguard proceedings (SFA) shall enable, in an accelerated timetable, the implementation of the Agreement in Principle (as such term is defined in the press release published by Europcar Mobility Group on November 26th, 2020).

By mid-January 2021, the Paris Commercial Court shall either approve the SFA plan reflecting the Agreement in Principle or decide to extend the accelerated financial safeguard proceedings by up to one additional month at the most.

Europcar Mobility Group shall shortly file a petition under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the relevant US Bankruptcy Court, seeking recognition in the U.S. of the accelerated financial safeguard as a foreign main proceeding.

It is noted that Europcar Mobility Group obtained on December 11th, 2020 the necessary waiver from the lenders under the RCF of any right they have pursuant to any event of default relating to the opening of an accelerated financial safeguard proceedings (procédure de sauvegarde financière accélérée).

It is recalled that the adoption and the implementation of the accelerated financial safeguard plan remain subject to the conditions as further detailed in the press releases published by Europcar Mobility Group on November 26th, 2020 and December 7th, 2020.
