Sardus issues SEK 100 M debenture loan

AB Sardus is floating a new debenture loan within a framework of SEK 250 M, of which SEK 100 M is being issued in the first tranche. The debenture loan is directed toward institutional investors and is being arranged by SEB Merchant Banking. AB Sardus has previously issued a debenture loan of SEK 150 M that matures in March 2007. The debenture loan strengthens the base for Sardus’ risk capital, which provides increased possibilities to utilize existing credit facilities. The loan is listed on the monthly list of bond loans on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and has a maturity of five years. On November 17, 2005, it was announced that Sardus expanded its syndicated loan from SEK 800 M to SEK 1 billion. “A strong capital base facilitates financing of future acquisitions,” says Ragnar Bringert, President of Sardus.
