The Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG (ISIN DE000FPH9000), Birkenwerder, has placed Group financing on a secure footing for the next 3.5 years with a renewal option for another 1.5 years. Financing contracts were signed today with a consortium of banks led by Deutsche Postbank AG as Mandated Lead Arranger and Agent and with Commerzbank AG as Mandated Lead Arranger and Collateral Security Agent. This means that liabilities in connection with the original financing originally agreed until the end of February 2014 in an amount of roughly EUR 36 million will be redeemed ahead of schedule. The total volume of the new syndicated loan comprises EUR 45 million. From the point of view of the Francotyp-Postalia, the loan offers partly better conditions than the previous credit commitment and reflects the requirements of the operating companies, while allowing greater flexibility. In the context of the Group's financing the banks have rewarded the improved balance sheet structure and the positive development of the FP Group. The broadened financial framework conditions will enable the company to consistently push ahead with its projects and to secure its planned future growth especially in the United States and Germany.
