Debt financing update
RHI Magnesita today announces €320 million of new ESG-linked debt financing, comprising a €170 million Schuldschein bond and the refinancing of its €150 million Term Loan with UniCredit Bank Austria AG ("UniCredit").
The ESG linked Schuldschein issuance was increased in size due to strong demand and has maturities ranging from 3 to 7 years, with an average tenor of 5 years. 60% of tranches were issued at floating interest rates and 40% fixed. The lead arrangers of the Schuldschein were Landesbank Hessen Thüringen Girozentrale and Erste Group Bank AG.
The Group also refinanced its existing Term Loan with UniCredit, increasing the total loan amount from €115 million to €150 million and extending the maturity date to 2026. The refinanced Term Loan is also now ESG linked.
Ian Botha, Chief Financial Officer of RHI Magnesita, said: "The Schuldschein and Term Loan financing totaling €320 million of long-term liquidity extends our amortization profile and has been secured at competitive rates of interest. These facilities will contribute to maintaining high levels of liquidity and reaffirm our commitment to improving our ESG performance."
