Meggitt completes five-year bank refinancing

 

 

Meggitt PLC ("Meggitt" or "the Group"), a leading international company specialising in high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and energy markets, announces that the Group has refinanced its bank facilities.

 

The new 5 year, $900 million committed revolving credit facility, from 13 international banks, replaces existing facilities of $700 million and $400 million due to expire in 2016 and 2017 respectively . The new facility includes one-year extension options at the end of the first and second years.

 

As a result, the Group will accelerate the amortisation of £1.7 million of debt issuance costs in 2014. The initial margin payable under the new facilities is around 25 basis points lower than the average margin payable prior to refinancing. The other principal terms and conditions are unchanged.

 

Doug Webb, Chief Financial Officer, commented:

 

"This timely refinancing demonstrates the ongoing support of Meggitt's relationship banks while allowing us to benefit from the prevailing favourable market conditions to extend our debt maturity on more cost effective terms."
