Refinancing Discussions
Safestore, the largest self-storage retailer in the UK and Paris, notes speculation in the market in relation to the completion of a private placement of Senior Notes by the Company.
The Company confirms that it is in advanced discussions in relation to a refinancing of the Company's debt facilities, which mature in August 2013, and it is considering a private placement of Senior Notes as part of this wider review of its financing arrangements. However, no such transaction has yet been completed.
The Company will update the market further as this review is completed.
