Eltek ASA: Eltek completes refinancing through Nordea
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Eltek ASA has received and accepted a refinancing offer from Nordea. The offer
includes extension of maturity for a NOK 400 million revolving overdraft
facility from September 2013 to September 2015, and an increase of the five-year
revolving facility with maturity in September 2016 by EUR 26.6 million. The
latter will be used for refinancing of an unsecured NOK 200 million bond loan
maturing in April 2015.
The refinancing implies a slightly higher future grid price for the facilities,
with margins varying with the leverage ratio (gross interest bearing
debt/EBITDA). Overall financing costs will be reduced due to redemption of the
bond loan, which will not take place until 8 April, 2013 at the earliest.
The Group's financing structure and financial position has been significantly
improved over the past years, following divestments of non-core activities and
improved results in the continuing operations. This refinancing further improves
the financial flexibility of the company. No additional collateral is required
for the new credit facilities, and unchanged loan covenants leave ample
financial headroom.
