Fortum signs new EUR 2.5 billion revolving loan facility
Fortum Corporation has signed a EUR 2,500 million syndicated Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds of the committed facility will be used for general corporate purposes and to refinance the two existing loan facilities signed in December 2004 and April 2008.
