Storskogen Group AB (publ) has entered into a binding agreement to refinance both oustanding unsecured facility agreements, by which Storskogen extends the average maturity of its debt portfolio and reduces the scope of its bank financing. On 16 March 2024, Storskogen entered into a binding agreement to refinance the previous revolving credit facility of EUR 1 billion (whereof EUR 357 million was utilised as of 31 December 2023) maturing on 24 September 2025, with an unutilised one-year extention option, and the unsecured syndicated term facility of EUR 300 million (whereof EUR 115 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2023) maturing on 24 March 2025. These have been replaced by a smaller unsecured facility agreement with a revolving credit facility of EUR 400 million, with an accordion option of EUR 43 million, and an unsecured syndicated term facility of EUR 330 million. The revolving credit facility has a duration of approximately three years, with an extension option for up to two-years, and the syndicated term facility has a two-and-a-half year duration. The facility agreement was entered into with an international bank syndicate. The average maturity for the Group's credit portfolio is thereby extended from 18 to 33 months.
Danske Bank and Nordea have acted as coordinators and Mannheimer Swartling Advokatbyrå has acted as legal counsel to Storskogen in connection with the new credit facility agreement.
