(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
September 30, 2011
Akzo Nobel NV (AkzoNobel) signed a new, ?1.8 billion five year multi-currency
syndicated revolving credit facility to refinance its existing ?1.5 billion
facility.
The transaction - which has two, one-year extension options - was very well
supported by the company's relationship banks during syndication, causing the
facility to close oversubscribed.
The facility underpins the company's strong credit and liquidity profile, and is
intended for general corporate purposes. AkzoNobel is rated Baa1 by Moody's and
BBB+ by Standard & Poor's.
