NOTICE TO NOTEHOLDERS

 

DCM US MULTI-FAMILY HOMES PLC
(Incorporated in England and Wales with registered number 12575053)
(the "Issuer")

To the holders of those of the Series 2022-DCM3 notes issued by the Issuer on 6 May 2022 with ISIN: GB00BPBPX655 (the "Notes" and the "Noteholders").

Unless otherwise defined in this Notice, capitalised terms used in this Notice shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trust Deed dated 1 July 2020 (as supplemented, restated or amended from time to time) between the Issuer and Trident Trust Company (Guernsey) Limited (the "Note Trustee" and the "Trust Deed").

Failure to pay interest under the Loan Agreement

The Issuer hereby notifies the Noteholders that DCM Real Estate 3 Inc. (the "Borrower") has to date failed to pay to the Issuer interest in the amount of US$112,175 in respect of the Loan Agreement relating to Series 2022-DCM3 which was due on 23 April 2024 (the "Interest Payment") and that the non-payment of the Interest Payment constitutes an Event of Default pursuant to Clause 11.1 (Events of Default) of the Loan Agreement (the "Loan EoD").  Pursuant to Clause 2(b) (Covenant to repay principal and to pay interest) of the Trust Deed, the Issuer was required to make an interest payment of US$112,175 to Noteholders on 6 May 2024 (the "Relevant Coupon") and that without payment by the Borrower of the Interest Payment, the Issuer has no means of paying the Relevant Coupon.

Event of Default under the Notes

The Issuer hereby notifies the Noteholders that the Loan EoD constitutes an Event of Default under Condition 14(h) (Events of Default) of the Notes.

Notice of Potential Event of Default under the Notes 

The Issuer further notifies the Noteholders that non-payment by the Issuer of the Relevant Coupon on 6 May 2024 constitutes a Potential Event of Default under the Notes and that should the Issuer remain unable to pay the Relevant Coupon for a period of 14 days from 6 May 2024, a further Event of Default will occur under Condition 14(a) (Events of Default) of the Notes on 20 May 2024.

Right to direct the Note Trustee

Pursuant to Condition 14 (Events of Default), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Note Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-quarter of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders shall (subject to the Note Trustee having been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction), give written notice to the Issuer (an "Acceleration Notice") that the Notes are, and they shall accordingly forthwith become, immediately due and repayable at their Early Redemption Amount, together with accrued interest.

The Security shall become enforceable upon the service of an Acceleration Notice by the Note Trustee on the Issuer.

Pursuant to Condition 19 (Enforcement), the Note Trustee may at any time at its discretion and without notice, take such action under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes or the Coupons as it may think fit (including, without limitation, directing the Security Trustee to take any action under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or, at any time after the security has become enforceable, to take steps to enforce the Security). The Note Trustee shall not be bound to take any such action unless (i) it shall have been directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of Noteholders or so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction.

No Further Action by  Note Trustee

For the avoidance of doubt (but without prejudice to the exercise of any discretion, power or authority which the Note Trustee is required, expressly or impliedly, to exercise in or by reference to the interests of the Noteholders under the Trust Deed), the Note Trustee will not take any further action without the request or direction (including indemnification) of the holders as described above. The Security Trustee shall not, and shall not be bound to, take any such action unless (i) instructed by the Note Trustee and (ii) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction.

Noteholder Contact

Whether or not Noteholders wish to direct the Note Trustee, they are requested urgently (and must, if they wish to direct the Note Trustee to accelerate or take any other action to enforce the Notes)  to provide confirmation as to their holdings to and evidence of identity to the Note Trustee by e-mail at: MSarl@tridenttrust.com.
