On 5 May 2012, the Group agreed a new financing package with its lenders, consisting of a total debt facility of ÂŁ1,400m with a maturity date of 31 May 2015. The facility comprises a ÂŁ150m term loan with no fixed repayments, a revolving credit facility of ÂŁ850m, a super senior revolving credit facility of ÂŁ200m, and a committed ÂŁ200m bonding and guarantee facility. Following the disposal of the Group's share in Thomas Cook (India) Limited, in August 2012 the super senior revolving credit facility was reduced by ÂŁ89m to ÂŁ111m. Following the ÂŁ100m cancellation today, the super senior revolving credit facility is reduced to ÂŁ11m.
