Rottneros refinances existing sustainability linked long-term facilities

Rottneros has entered into a new loan agreement with Danske Bank and Svensk Exportkredit whereby the existing long-term facilities will be refinanced. The new facilities amount to a total of 550 MSEK divided into term loan facilities of 400 MSEK in total and a revolving credit facility of up to 150 MSEK.

As before, the loan agreement includes a sustainability link, which means that the interest rate terms are linked to some of the environmental and work environment criteria in the Group's long-term targets. The link is part of Rottneros' continuous focus on sustainable development.

The facilities and the loan agreement have a maturity of three years, of which 400 MSEK has a one-year extension option. The interest rate for both the term loan facility and any revolving credits used under the loan agreement is based on STIBOR plus interest margin.

The previous loan agreement included term loan facilities of 200 MSEK and a revolving credit facility of up to 150 MSEK.
