Debt Allocation

GVC Holdings PLC (LSE:GVC), the global sports-betting and gaming Group, has today announced the pricing and allocation of a new €1,125m First Lien Term Loan B in EUR. In a net leverage neutral transaction, the loan refinances in full the existing outstanding £175m TLB(£), and consolidates the existing outstanding €300m TLB1(€) due March 2023 and €625m TLB2(€) due March 2024 into one bigger and more liquid tranche maturing in March 2024 under GVC's wholly owned subsidiary GVC Holdings (Gibraltar) Limited.

The new EUR Term Loan B's pricing is E +2501 (0% floor) and it was allocated at par, which represents a saving of 25bps vs the existing EUR facilities and 175bps on the refinanced £175m TLB(£). The EUR refinancing of the £175m TLB(£) delivers the required currency mix of debt for the Group following the implementation of the Triennial Review in April 2019.
