CECONOMY AG lays the foundation of its post-pandemic financing structure with new EUR1 billion ESG-linked syndicated 
revolving credit facilities 
Düsseldorf, 6 May 2021 - Today CECONOMY AG ("CECONOMY") has successfully signed new ESG-linked syndicated revolving 
credit facilities of EUR1.06 billion with a consortium of its 13 partner banks. The new syndicated revolving credit 
facilities are intended to replace the existing syndicated revolving credit facilities with the participation of KfW as 
a back-up line. 
The new facilities are split into a five-year tranche with a volume of EUR707 million and a three-year tranche with a 
volume of EUR353 million in order to diversify the maturity profile. In addition, both tranches have the option of being 
extended twice for one year each. The new facilities will become effective once the existing syndicated credit lines 
have been terminated at the sole discretion of CECONOMY. 
Furthermore, the interest on the syndicated loan is linked to three annual ESG targets. If predefined targets for CO2 
reduction, number of sustainable products in the assortment and female share in management positions are met, the 
interest rate is reduced and vice versa. 
"We have prepared ourselves for the time after KfW by setting up a new EUR1.06 billion syndicated revolving credit 
facility, which will come in place as soon as we can justify terminating the current KfW structure. The ESG component 
of the new syndicated loan demonstrates our commitment to a sustainable future. We are embedding sustainability as a 
key element of our business as well as operations and setting ourselves ambitious targets," says CECONOMY CFO Florian 
Wieser. 
With the new loan agreement CECONOMY lays already now the foundation for its post-pandemic financing structure and 
underpins its continued prudent financial policy.
