Kongsberg Automotive (the "Company") has renegotiated certain terms of its Euro
70 million revolving credit facility ("RCF") with its banks, Danske Bank and J P
Morgan. Under this relief agreement ("Relief Agreement"), the Company can
utilize 80% of its RCF line without being subject to the NIBD/EBITDA covenant
testing. The utilization rate under the original RCF agreement before covenant
testing was 40%. The Relief Agreement is effective until the end of the first
quarter 2021 calls for certain additional covenants and reporting requirements.
The agreement is subject to approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the
Company approving all the proposed resolutions associated with the capital
increase on June 15 2020 and final documentation.
Through the Relief Agreement Kongsberg Automotive increases available effective
liquidity by Euro 28 million until March 31, 2021, a very important and flexible
source of liquidity for the Company.
Danske Bank and J P Morgan have been very supportive in the process of
finalizing the Relief Agreement and we thank our major banking partners for
their commitment to Kongsberg Automotive. Danske Bank acts as the agent for the
RCF banks and have been instrumental in reaching this Relief Agreement.
