VusionGroup optimizes its refinancing and strengthens its banking partnerships
- Early repayment of the existing term loan
- Establishment of a €200 million revolving credit facility (RCF)
- Strengthening the partnership with key banks
VusionGroup is pleased to announce the successful refinancing of its financial debt.
The Group used part of its excess cash to terminate and make an early repayment of the syndicated loan negotiated in December 2023 and established a new revolving credit facility (RCF).
This new facility, amounting to €200 million, not drawn down at the time of signing, with a €100 million accordion feature, has a maturity of 5 years with two one-year extension options.
The implementation of this new financing has resulted in a significant improvement in financial conditions, reflecting the enhanced quality of the Group's credit profile, while also strengthening its liquidity management flexibility.
True to its sustainability strategy, VusionGroup has renewed the sustainability-linked structure of this financing, with the margin notably depending on performance indicators related to the decarbonization targets of its activities and value chain, the contribution to the development of the circular economy through a second-life offering for its products, as well as gender parity within its management teams.
Natixis CIB acted as Coordinator, Documentation Agent, ESG Coordinator, and Facility Agent. The banking pool includes Banque CIC Nord-Ouest, BNP Paribas, Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de Paris et d'Île de France, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Crédit Lyonnais, J.P. Morgan SE, and Natixis CIB acting as Mandated Arrangers and Bookrunners.
This operation strengthens VusionGroup's financial structure and demonstrates the confidence it enjoys with its key partner banks.
