Frank Lorenz-Dietz, CFO of SAF-HOLLAND SE, commented on the successful placement: "The promissory note placed today demonstrates the high level of confidence that SAF-HOLLAND enjoys as a borrower with promissory note investors. We were able to secure very advantageous financing costs, which will become even more attractive as we continue to reduce our leverage, i.e. the ratio of net financial debt to EBITDA. The proceeds from the issue strengthen our financial flexibility and are an important building block in our long-term financing strategy.
