Abengoa requests its financial creditors to adhere to a standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will request its financial creditors to stay certain rights and actions vis-à-vis the relevant Abengoa companies during a period of seven (7) months from the date of the Standstill Agreement. Once the Standstill Agreement is signed by the Company’s various financial creditors, Abengoa will, after obtaining the support of the requisite majorities as established under applicable laws and regulations, apply for judicial approval (homologación judicial) of the Standstill Agreement pursuant to the Spanish insolvency act, so that the Standstill Agreement becomes binding upon all the relevant financial creditors of the Company, including those who do not enter into it.
