    Revolving Facility

    The Group has a firmly committed credit line (“Revolving Facility”) of MCHF 150 with a banking syndicate. The credit line is firmly committed until June 2016 with the purpose of ensuring the Group's financial flexibility. At December 31, 2013, the Revolving Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an annual interest margin of 0.5%. The interest margin depends on the net debt to EBITDA ratio. This ratio is verified on a quarterly basis. In addition, in the case of a drawdown of the credit line of 33⅓%, a utilization fee of 0.15% is due on the entire credit portion and in the case of a drawdown of 66⅔%, an utilization fee of 0.30% is due. The interest is payable at the maturity date of the respective drawing used under the Revolving Facility. The drawings can have terms of one to six months. A commitment fee of 35% of the applicable interest margin is due on the unused portion. Drawings under the Revolving Facility are secured by guarantees from Geberit AG, Geberit Holding AG, Geberit Verwaltungs GmbH, and the Chicago Faucet Company, and contain covenants and conditions typical for syndicated financing, among others, compliance with the following financial ratios:

    - EBITDA/financial result, net:  min. 5.0x
    - Net debt/EBITDA:max. 3.0x
    - Equity/total assets:min. 25%

    The limits for these financial ratios were fulfilled on December 31, 2013. In 2013 and 2012, no drawdown of the Revolving Facility took place.
