Hamburg, 16 October 2014 - Hamburg based operator of solar and wind parks
Capital Stage further pursues the optimisation of its financing structure.
After the successful refinancing of seven so far equity financed solar
parks in Italy, the company disposes of additional free funds amounting to
around 23 million euros. The funds are intended to be utilized for further
investments. Today, a corresponding financing agreement with BayernLB was
signed. The agreement comprises of long-term loans, which replace a major
part of the tied up equity within the individual solar park project
companies.
Felix Goedhart, CEO of Capital Stage AG, is pleased: "The successful
singning of this agreement with BayernLB is a milestone in our financing
strategy and shows, that good and highly profitable projects are bankable
everywhere."
After the successful conclusion of a credit line for acquisitions on
corporate level with a volume of twelve million euros and the refinancing
of four solar parks in Germany amounting to a total of ten million euros,
this loan represents a further improvement within the financing strategy.
Capital Stage already announced in spring to exploit the currently low
interest environment by raising debt to finance the upcoming growth steps
without equity transactions.
