Carillion successfully refinances maturing debt facilities
Carillion plc is pleased to announce that it has successfully refinanced existing funding arrangements that are due to mature during 2017 and 2018. The replacement financing has been secured from the German Schuldschein Market and the £112 million of loans received exceeded our target of £100 million, further evidencing the strong support Carillion continues to receive in the debt capital markets.
The loans have an average maturity of approximately five years and a blended interest rate of sub-three per cent, including fees. This further diversifies the Group's sources of funding, provides long-term debt on attractive terms and maintains the Group's strong liquidity position with access to over £1.4 billion of funding to support its strategic objectives and development.
