K€35,000 EIB bank loan

On December 20, 2017 the Group entered into a finance contract with the European Investment Bank, or EIB, to finance future research and development programs. As part of a first tranche, an amount of K€10,000 was drawn in the course of 2018. The agreement foresees a first two-year period without loan reimbursements. Loans under the contract are made at a fixed rate, based on the Euribor rate at the time of the borrowing, plus a variable margin. The interest rate for this loan is 2.40%. The contract contains customary security, covenants and undertakings. A second tranche of K€25,000 was drawn in the course of 2019 with an interest rate of 2.72%. Pledges have been given on moveable assets as well as over the shares.

On June 29, 2020, the European Investment Bank temporarily waived the compliance obligation of the covenants “Total gross Debt to Adjusted EBITDA” (until December 31, 2022), and “Adjusted EBITDA to Net financial charges” (until 31 December 2020) under the condition that the covenant “Total net debt to Adjusted EBITDA” will be met for the period. In addition, the European Investment Bank agreed not to recalculate the interest rate until January 3, 2022 for the first tranche and until January 17, 2022 for the second tranche. Finally, the European Investment Bank waived “the subsidiary financial indebtedness” covenant for the calculation period ending on June 30, 2020. For the periods thereafter this covenant has been eased.
