GL EVENTS (FR0000066672, GLO), THE INTEGRATED EVENT INDUSTRY GROUP, ANNOUNCES THE EARLY REFINANCING OF THE €150M REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY (RCF) AND SECURES A NEW €70M CREDIT LINE.

Olivier Ginon, Chairman-CEO of GL events Group, commented: "GL events welcomes the conclusion of this refinancing agreement which extends the maturity of its financial debt and reflects our strategy of further reducing our gross debt at the end of 2023 and supporting the Group's development. It is also a testimony to our banking partners' continuing confidence in our business model and I sincerely thank them for their unwavering support over the years. "

As foreseen when its annual financial statements were presented, GL events has now successfully completed the refinancing of its bank debt. This has included securing a new term loan in the amount of €70m, repayable over a period of five years. In addition, GL events refinanced in advance a €150m revolving credit facility (RCF) with a 5-year maturity and an optional two-year extension at the company's initiative. The Group reserves the right to add ESG criteria to the RCF which, depending on performance, will impact the financing rate. Its historical banking partners (14) participated in these financing transactions.

These transactions were co-arranged by CIC Lyonnaise de Banque (Bookrunner, Coordinator and Agent) and Crédit Agricole Centre Est.

For this transaction, GL events was advised by Delsol Avocats (Séverine Bravard and Emilie Florentin) and the banking institutions were assisted by De Pardieu Brocas Maffei (Corentin Coatalem and Aude Fourgassie).
