Sinch AB (publ): Sinch explores financing options

Stockholm, Sweden – Sinch AB (publ) – XSTO: SINCH

Sinch AB (publ), a global leader in cloud communications for mobile customer engagement, has mandated Danske Bank and Handelsbanken to arrange a series of fixed income investor meetings in the Nordics on November 13-14th in order to explore the possibilities for issuing a senior unsecured bond.

Subject to prevailing market conditions, a senior unsecured bond with an estimated size of SEK 750m and 3 to 5 year maturity may follow. The aim is to diversify Sinch’s funding sources and increase the company’s financial flexibility. The proceeds from such a bond issue will be used for refinancing of drawn bank debt and for general corporate purposes.

Securities, currently pledged in favor of the lending banks in existing bank facilities, will be released upon an executed bond issue. Hence, all debt will be unsecured going forward.
