DSM renews ?500 million credit facility
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, today
announces that it has entered into a committed credit facility of ?500 million
with certain credit relationship banks. This facility replaces a previous
facility of the same amount which was scheduled to expire in October 2012.
The unsecured credit facility of ?500 million is for a minumum term of 5 years
and a maximum term of 7 years. In addition to this credit facility, DSM has a
committed credit facility of ?400 million (maturing in April 2013) as well as a
commercial-paper program amounting to ?1,500 million. DSM will use the
commercial-paper program to a total of not more than ?900 million. The
agreements for the committed credit facilities neither have financial convenants
nor material adverse changes clauses. The credit facilities and commercial-paper
program are fully undrawn.
DSM is rated A3 by Moody's and A by Standard & Poor's, both with a stable
outlook.
