Hexatronic signs a new SEK 500 million senior term loan facility
Hexatronic Group AB (publ) (“Hexatronic”) has entered into a new senior term loan facility agreement of SEK 500 million with its existing lenders Danske Bank A/S, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) and AB Svensk Exportkredit (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is a new facility in the existing agreement and subject to the same credit documentation and covenants.
The purpose of the Term Loan is to refinance SEK 500 million borrowed under Hexatronic’s current revolving credit facilities, thereby providing financial flexibility. As the new Term Loan will be used to refinance the existing revolving credit facilities there is no impact on the company’s net debt or leverage ratio. By the end of the third quarter the leverage ratio amounted to 1.8x*.
“During 2022 and 2023 we have made several important strategic investments to expand Hexatronic’s offering in strategic markets to further diversify Hexatronic’s business. Through this Term Loan, we refinance the company’s revolving credit facility and thereby provide financial flexibility”, says Henrik Larsson Lyon, CEO of Hexatronic.
