Sanitec plans for a new financing structure – reducing costs and creating more flexibility

Sanitec has today entered into a EUR 275 million Multicurrency Term Loan and a
Revolving Credit Facility. The company will shortly initiate a process to redeem
the existing Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes with the amount of EUR 250
million as well as to terminate the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of
EUR 50 million. The new financing structure will reduce Sanitec’s costs, and
create more flexibility for handling cash and liquidity.

When implemented, the new financing structure will reduce financial expenses by
up to EUR 10 million per year which equals an increase in the earnings per share
with approximately EUR 0.10, ceteris paribus.

The redemption price of the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes is 101% of the
nominal value of EUR 250 million (with an interest of 4.75% over three months
euribor and are due in 2018). In connection with the redemption Sanitec will
write off a capitalised fee of approximately EUR 7.5 million. In total the Q2
financial result will be affected by approximately EUR 10 million in one-off
financial expenses. All in all the net effect on earnings per share for 2014
will be about EUR -0.05.

The current financing will be replaced by the EUR 275 million Multicurrency Term
Loan and a Revolving Credit Facility, provided by Danske Bank, DNB Bank and
Nordea. The maturity of the agreement is at least three years.

“The new structure will reduce our cost for financing and create more
flexibility, and will not negatively affect the distribution capability to the
shareholders”, says Fredrik Cappelen, Chairman of the Board in Sanitec.

Sanitec aims to have the new structure in place end of June 2014.
