HOMAG Group AG secures financing for future growth
Schopfloch, September 26, 2012. HOMAG Group AG, the world's leading
manufacturer of plant and machinery for the woodworking industry and for
cabinet makers, reported that it has entered into a new syndicated loan
agreement under which the conditions, volumes and terms have improved
compared to the former agreement. The agreement concluded with a syndicate
of banks led by Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank and UniCredit has a volume of
EUR 210 million. It has a term of four years and, like the agreement valid
to date, is subject to compliance with specific covenants. The current
agreement, which would have expired in February 2013, originally had a
volume of EUR 198 million and a term of three years.
CFO Hans-Dieter Schumacher is very satisfied with the agreement reached:
'It has paid off that we engaged in talks with the banks at an early stage.
With the new syndicated loan agreement, we have solid financing for
implementing our growth plans and it demonstrates the good credit standing
that HOMAG Group AG enjoys with banks.'
