Stena Line's refinancing complete

Report this content

The previously announced refinancing of USD 725 million of Stena Line's loan liabilities has now been completed. The new financing consists of a long-term bank credit of USD 425 million and 10-year Senior Notes (bond loan) of USD 300 million. The refinancing means a reduction in the company's amortization, which ensures healthy liquidity. "The transaction will improve our financial flexibility and make us better equipped to handle the changes we foresee in the market," says Bo Lerenius, President and CEO of Stena Line. Several Swedish and international banks have granted the bank credit of USD 425 million. The credit carries a variable interest rate and a 7.5- year duration, with no amortization for the first three years. The Senior Notes worth USD 300 million were raised on the American capital market. The Notes are amortization-free and carry 10 5/8 % interest. The refinancing does not mean an increase in Stena Line's loan liabilities.
