Studsvik completes sale of its Waste Treatment operations to EDF

In accordance with the agreement made in April, Studsvik today completed the sale of its Waste Treatment operations to EDF. A world-wide, long term cooperation agreement in the fields of decommissioning and waste management has also been signed between Studsvik and EDF. 

After the transaction Studsvik has cash funds of more than SEK 350 million. Under the terms of Studsvik's bond loan totaling SEK 300 million, SEK 100 million will therefore be repaid in advance in connection with the interest payment to be made in November 2016. 

“The divestment means we have taken a further step towards more streamlined operations based on advanced services in the Fuel and Materials Technology and Consulting Services business areas. Through the transaction we have also created better conditions for developing and focusing on our remaining businesses”, comments Studsvik’s President and CEO Michael Mononen.
