€1.7bn Term Loan B Repricing Down to 4.35% All-in Interest Rate
Zegona is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Zegona HoldCo Limited has successfully completed the repricing of its EUR Term Loan B Facility (the "Term Loan B") due July 2029.
The repricing reduces Zegona's all-in interest rate under the Term Loan B to 4.35% with the margin reducing by 50 basis points, from 2.75% p.a. to 2.25% p.a.1 The Term Loan B will reduce to €1.665bn on receipt of the FiberPass proceeds2. Other key terms remain substantially unchanged3.
Eamonn O'Hare, Chairman and CEO of Zegona, commented: "We're pleased to report a further reduction in the cost of Zegona's debt, with today's successful repricing of the Term Loan B. Our repriced Term Loan B is the lowest priced euro telco term loan B.4 This transaction contributes to our declining interest cost trajectory with annualised total interest reducing by c.€80m since the start of our investment in Vodafone Spain (from 7.5% all-in blended interest rate to now 5.8%). Our current refinancing at 4.35% demonstrates the credit market support for Zegona."
