Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG (ISIN DE000FPH9000), Birkenwerder, has taken advantage of the favourable financing environment and has today concluded with the existing bank syndicate led by the two mandated lead arrangers, Deutsche Postbank AG and Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, an amendment agreement to the current consortium loan agreement of April 2013. The total volume of the consortium loan has thus increased by EUR 5 million and now totals EUR 50 million. In addition, the Management Board secured significant improvements in the conditions with the new agreement: The term of the loan was extended by more than a year to October 2019. Furthermore, improvements in the interest margin and greater leeway with regard to other financial liabilities were also obtained. Overall, the FP Group has secured a much higher degree of flexibility that will enable it to respond to operational circumstances. It also increases its flexibility for investing in future growth. Rental machines and development projects will be the main focus in 2014. By concluding this amendment agreement, the banks are acknowledging the successful implementation of the Group's strategy, the operational progress the FP Group has demonstrated in the past 18 months, and the further improvements made in the balance sheet structure. The readiness to grant these improved conditions transpired irrespective of the reassessment of the teleporto funds in the current year. As a consequence, the FP Group has secured roughly EUR 20 million in additional liquid assets. The combination of this reassessment and the amendment agreement provides the financing of the FP Group with a very solid foundation in the long term.
