21 apr Wereldhave refinances EUR 300 million syndicated revolving credit facility at improved terms
Wereldhave entered into an agreement to refinance its EUR 300 million syndicated revolving credit facility. This agreement allows the company to extend its maturity profile, decreases its average cost of debt, and reduces the cost of undrawn committed facilities.
Axeco Corporate Finance is pleased to have advised the management team of Wereldhave
Wereldhave has refinanced its 2014 EUR 300m syndicated revolving credit facility with a new €300m syndicated revolving credit facility pushing the maturity out to February 2022. The 2014 facility was due to expire in March 2019. The new facility takes advantage of favourable market conditions, features two one-year extension options and includes a €100m accordion feature.
As a result, Wereldhave extends its maturity profile, decreases its average cost of debt and, due to a lower margin, reduces the cost of undrawn committed facilities. Other core terms and conditions, like covenants, did not change and remain in line with Wereldhave’s other existing facilities.
