DEBENHAMS PLC - REFINANCING

 

Debenhams plc, the leading department store group, today confirms that it has completed a refinancing of the £650 million senior credit facility agreed in July 2010. The refinancing extends the maturity date for the borrowing facility to October 2015 (from October 2013) with a further option to extend to October 2016. In addition to the extension in tenor, the amended terms will reduce the Group's cash interest rate by 0.50% to around 4% with immediate effect. Associated refinancing costs of around £3.3 million will be amortised over the life of the facility.

 

The £650 million facility continues to comprise a £250 million term loan and £400 million revolving credit facility.

 

The Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners were Barclays Capital, Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland.

 

Chris Woodhouse, Finance Director of Debenhams, said:

 

"We are delighted to have successfully secured Debenhams' medium term funding requirements through this extension, significantly lowering the Group's interest costs in the process. Our ability to achieve such a refinancing in the current economic environment is a testament to the continued strong performance of the business."
