Revolving credit facility
A firmly committed credit line of MCHF 500 has been available to the Group since November 2017. The credit line has a term of five years (due in 2022) as well as two renewal options of one additional year each. The interest rate is variable and based on the LIBOR plus a fixed margin. An additional fee is charged if this credit line is drawn down. The credit facility had not been drawn down by the end of 2019. A commitment fee – recorded as financial expenses – was charged in respect of the undrawn portion.
The MEUR 325 bond and the MCHF 500 credit facility are secured by guarantees from Geberit AG. The credit facility contains conditions typical for syndicated financing.
