提交获得主要利益相关方支持的可确认的修订后的重组计划和披露声明 

    试图在2017年秋季摆脱破产保护 

    2017年8月7日美国纽约州纽约 Avaya今天宣布与其超过50%第一留置权债务的持有人（包括特设第一留置权债权人团体（“Ad Hoc First Lien Group”）中的一些成员）达成一项计划支持协议（“PSA”）。公司还与美国养老保险利益保证公司（“PBGC”）达成协议，终止公司在Avaya受薪雇员养老金计划（“APPSE”）下的义务并将相关义务转移至PBGC，协议获得特设第一留置权债权人团体支持。Avaya提交了修订后的重组计划（“修订后的计划”）和披露声明，以反映这些协议的条款。 

    “PSA”是Avaya与特设第一留置权债权人团体成员广泛谈判的结果。执行“PSA”的持有人方（如PSA中所定义）合计持有超过50%的Avaya第一留置权债务。其中，该方同意支持“修订后的计划”所期待的重组交易，在依据适用法律征集投票时投票支持“修订后的计划”，且不采取不符合PSA或所期待的交易的任何行动。因此，一旦公司获得法庭批准征集债权人投票并获得必要的投票，修订后的计划即可确认。修订后的计划的关键条款包括： 

    • 将Avaya的债务水平较提交文件前减少超30亿美元； 

    • 清算Avaya受薪雇员养老金计划（“APPSE”）下的义务并转移至PBGC； 

    • Avaya继续支持Avaya养老金计划（“APP”）下的义务；以及 

    • 采取措施使Avaya作为上市公司摆脱破产保护。 

    Avaya总裁兼首席执行官Kevin Kennedy表示：“我们很高兴与特设第一留置权债权人团体和美国养老保险利益保证公司这些重组过程中的关键利益相关者达成上述协议。这是破产保护进程中的一个重要里程碑，是Avaya向更强、更有竞争力的公司目标迈进的一个标志。此外，我们认为这对我们的利益相关方来说是一个积极和有益的结果。通过获得债权人支持的可确认的重组计划，我们现在有了一条清晰、可行的在短期内摆脱破产保护的道路。” 

    Avaya将继续努力建立共识，争取其他利益相关方支持。Avaya将在定于2017年8月23日举行的庭审中寻求批准修订后的披露声明和“PSA”。 

    本新闻稿无意为修订后的计划征集投票。本新闻稿中的任何内容不应被视为根据美国破产法1125和1126节或其他法律为“修订后的计划”或任何重组计划征集赞成票。在向各方提供包含美国破产法1125节所要求的充分信息的披露声明副本之前，公司将不征求任何一方赞同“修订后的计划”。修订后的计划和修改后的披露声明的所有条款以及相关答辩都可在线浏览，网址是：https://cases.primeclerk.com/avaya。

    Cautionary Note Regarding the Chapter 11 Cases 

    The Company’s security holders are cautioned that trading in securities of the Company during the pendency of these Chapter 11 cases will be highly speculative and will pose substantial risks. It is possible some or all of the Company’s currently outstanding securities may be cancelled and extinguished upon confirmation of a restructuring plan by the Bankruptcy Court. In such an event, the Company’s security holders would not be entitled to receive or retain any cash, securities or other property on account of their cancelled securities. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relation to actual recovery, if any, by holders thereof in the Company’s Chapter 11 cases. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.
