Francotyp-Postalia completes restructuring of Group financing ahead of
schedule in the interest of future growth
Birkenwerder, 19 April 2013. 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.
