Ekosem-Agrar AG: Deferral of interest payments due in December 2023 to noteholders of the Ekosem-Agrar bond 2012/2027

Walldorf, 9 November 2023 - Ekosem-Agrar AG has exercised its right to defer interest payments. This decision was taken after consultation with e.Anleihe GmbH, the joint representative of both bonds issued by the company, and the members of the company’s noteholders’ advisory committee. Accordingly, the payment of the interest claims of the noteholders of the ESA bond 2012/2027 (ISIN: DE000A1R0RZ5) due in December 2023 in the amount of 2.5% for the interest period 2022/2023 will be deferred for one year, as well as the interest already deferred last year for the interest period 2021/2022.

The deferral of the interest claims is necessary from the company's perspective to avoid endangering the continuation of the company and because a transfer of liquidity from Russia to Germany is still not possible in the difficult political environment.
