Announcement of refinancing

Cape plc is pleased to announce that it has signed a new £295m revolving credit facility and a £50m accordion for the Group. This new facility replaces the Group's existing £200m and AUD$30m facilities which are due to expire in July 2015. The new facility provides the Group with greater covenant flexibility and will terminate in April 2018. The facility has been arranged with a group of 8 banks, comprising existing syndicate members of Barclays Bank plc, Lloyds Bank plc and HSBC Bank plc and a number of new lenders, Abbey National Treasury Services PLC, AIB Group (UK) P.L.C., DNB Bank ASA, ICBC (London) PLC, and National Westminster Bank PLC.

Commenting on the announcement, Joe Oatley, Chief Executive, said:

"These new facilities strengthen our financial position and provide us with the balance sheet to grow our business both organically and potentially acquisitively. The terms of these facilities reflect the banks' confidence in the strategic prospects for the Group."
