Carlsberg signs new 5-year revolving credit
facility of EUR 1.75bn
Carlsberg Breweries A/S ("Carlsberg") has today entered into a new 5-year
multi-currency revolving credit facility of EUR 1.75bn.
The facility is for general corporate purposes as well as partial refinancing
and cancellation of the Scottish & Newcastle acquisition facilities from October
2007.
With this new credit facility in place, Carlsberg has extended the maturity
profile of its bank commitments and has achieved favourable pricing and terms.
Due to a significant oversubscription, the size of the credit facility was
increased from EUR 1.5bn to EUR 1.75bn.
Carlsberg's Deputy CEO and CFO Jørn P. Jensen says "We are very pleased with the
terms of the new credit facility and the confidence that our banks once again
have shown us".
A total of 21 banks participate in the credit facility and going forward they
will comprise the main relationship bank group. The facility is self-arranged by
Carlsberg. 12 banks have been awarded
the title "Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner" and 9 banks have been awarded
the title "Arranger".
