The facility is for general corporate purposes and has a five-year maturity, with extension options for up to two more years. The new facility will refinance an existing EUR 500 million syndicated facility which matures in June 2012.
The facility was oversubscribed during syndication, but was not increased.

Mandated Lead Arrangers in the facility are Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Danske Bank, HSBC Bank plc, J.P. Morgan Limited, Morgan Stanley, Nordea, Swedbank and The Royal Bank of Scotland.
"It is a sign of Electrolux financial strength and credibility that we have been able to achieve a facility like this in today’s economic climate,” says Mikael Friberg, Group Treasurer of Electrolux.
