New financing package for NovaCast Technologies AB ready - 24 MSEK to overcome the 2009 downturn in business cycle

As one of several measures during the temporary downturn in the business cycle
NovaCast Technologies AB has reached a new financing agreement with its two
banks, as well as with ALMI Skåne. The new credit scope, which was decided
today, is 24 MSEK, of which 12 MSEK from the banks and 12 MSEK ALMI Skåne. 

“As we mentioned in our year-end report, we immediately withdrew our
application for a state rescue loan when we became aware of the final
conditions. Relations with our banks are and always have been good and the
banks have full insight into our business activities. We could therefore,
together with ALMI Skåne, put together a financing solution with slightly
longer duration and reasonably low interest, under 4,5%”, says NovaCast
Technologies' CEO, Hans Svensson in a comment to the loan.
