Com Hem secures new financing and intends to redeem its Euro Notes


Com Hem Holding AB (publ) ("Com Hem"), NorCell Sweden Holding 2 AB (publ) and
Norcell Sweden Holding 3 AB (publ) announced today that the group has entered
into a new long-term financing agreement with DNB of SEK 1 bn. Com Hem intends
to use the new credit facility, together with new short term facilities from
Nordea and Danske Bank totaling SEK 500m and existing unutilized facilities, to
redeem the EUR 187m Euro Notes issued by the Company's subsidiary NorCell Sweden
Holding 2 AB (publ) pursuant to their terms and conditions in November 2015.
This is expected to reduce the group’s interest cost by approximately SEK 100m
annually compared to the Q2 2015 level.
The new credit facilities are signed by Com Hem’s wholly owned subsidiary
Norcell Sweden Holding 3 AB (publ) by extending the company’s 2014 Senior
Facilities Agreement. The new credit facility with DNB matures on 26 June 2019
with similar conditions as the company’s existing bank financing. Com Hem
intends to use the new financing commitments, together with existing unutilized
facilities, to redeem the EUR 187m Euro Notes issued by the company's subsidiary
NorCell Sweden Holding 2 AB (publ) pursuant to their terms and conditions in
November 2015.
Subject to the EUR Notes being refinanced, the group’s average interest cost is
expected to decrease to approximately 3.5% compared to 4.5% in the second
quarter of 2015, and thereby reduce the group’s interest cost by approximately
SEK 100m annually compared to the Q2 2015 level.
The group’s interest bearing net debt amounted to SEK 8,896m as of 30 June 2015.
Following refinancing of above credit facilities, the group’s total credit
facilities, including outstanding SEK Notes, amounts to SEK 10,375m with an
average remaining duration of 3.7 years.
Going forward, Com Hem will continue to work towards having a long term
diversified funding with a mix of bond and bank financing. The company will
therefore consider issuing new bonds when market conditions are deemed
favourable.
