(Alliance News) - Leonardo Spa announced on Tuesday that it has signed a new EUR600 million ESG-linked term loan credit facility with a pool of international and domestic banks.
The financing has a five-year duration, with a two-year grace period and repayment in equal installments starting from the third year, with a final maturity in 2031.
The new facility is intended to refinance debt maturing and repaid in January 2026, as well as to support the Group's liquidity needs in the coming months, while keeping the availability of short-term credit lines unchanged. The transaction was twice oversubscribed.
The economic terms reflect the recognition of the group's creditworthiness and the growing interest of the banking system in Leonardo, now perceived as a leading player in the European Aerospace, Defence & Security sector. In line with the group's sustainability strategy, the financing includes CO2 emission reduction targets.
"Consistent with our financial strategy, the signing of the new term loan allows us to meet the Group's upcoming financial commitments while maintaining the availability of credit lines to support working capital. The broad participation from banks confirms the positive appreciation for the group's industrial strategy. Furthermore, the confirmation of ESG indicators, in continuity with other financial instruments signed in recent years, reinforces our commitment to sustainability and its full integration into the business," said Roberto Cingolani, CEO and General Manager.
With this transaction, approximately 80% of Leonardo's available financing sources are now comprised of sustainable instruments.
The banks involved include Banco BPM, Santander, BNP Paribas, BPER Banca, Crédit Agricole CIB, Deutsche Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, Société Générale, and UniCredit, among others. Crédit Agricole and BNP Paribas acted as ESG coordinators, while UniCredit served as documentation agent and facility agent.
Leonardo was assisted by the Chiomenti law firm, while the pool of banks was supported by Clifford Chance as legal counsel.
Leonardo's stock closed flat on Tuesday at EUR62.46 per share.
