CENCORP AGREED WITH DANSKE BANK OYJ (FORMER SAMPO PANKKI OYJ) ON AMENDMENT OF FINANCING FACILITIES AND WITH SAVCOR GROUP OY AND SAVCOR INVEST BV ON TRANSFERRING THE LOAN MATURITY DATES
Cencorp has had financing facility agreement amounting totally to EUR four million with Danske Bank Oyj (former Sampo Pankki Oyj). The agreement's due date was 30 June 2013. Cencorp has agreed with Danske Bank on extending the financing facility agreement until the end of September 2013.
In December 2012, Savcor Group Oy and Cencorp agreed on extending the maturity date of a loan of some EUR 1.2 million, granted to Cencorp by Savcor Group Oy in 2009 and converted into a convertible bond on 25 May 2010, until the end of June 2013. Cencorp has agreed with Savcor Group Oy on extending the loan period until the end of September 2013.
Cencorp has a loan of EUR one million from Savcor Invest BV (former AC Invest BV), a daughter company of Savcor Group Oy. In December 2012 the loan period was extended until 30 June 2013. The companies have agreed on extending the loan period until the end of September 2013.
The subcription of Cencorp’s convertible bonds as well as the loan given by The Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation - Tekes have improved the company’s liquidity. However, as the company continues to make investments and prepares for remarkable increase in the net sales the company’s financing position continues to be tight until the operations turn into positive in terms of EBITDA.
