Storskogen Group AB (publ) extends, in full, both of its outstanding unsecured facility agreements by one year each. The extension includes both the revolving credit facility entered into on 24 September 2021 of EUR 1 billion, which is extended until 24 September 2025, and the unsecured syndicated term facility agreement entered into on 23 September 2022 of EUR 300 million which is extended until 24 March 2025. All banks in each facility agreement have partaken in the extension. After the extension, the revolving credit facility has another extension option of one year.

The facility agreements were entered into with international bank syndicates. After the extension, the average time to maturity for the group’s credit portfolio is prolonged to 27 months.

“Operationally, we have a clear focus on cost efficiency and cash flows, with an ambition to lower the leverage to the lower end of the interval 2-3x*. The extended credit facilities provide additional financial support and also improves the maturity profile of Storskogen’s debt portfolio” says Lena Glader, CFO at Storskogen.

Mannheimer Swarting Advokatbyrå has acted as legal advisors to Storskogen in connection with the transaction.
