TIP Trailer Services herfinanciert de doorlopende kredietfaciliteit
AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TIP Trailer Services, een portfoliobedrijf van I Squared Capital, heeft de bestaande ‘Revolving Credit Facility’ (RCF) met succes geherfinancierd. Daardoor is het van 700 euro miljoen naar 967 miljoen euro toegenomen. Tegelijkertijd zijn de marges verlaagd en is de flexibiliteit toegenomen. Bij de financieringsronde werd te veel ingetekend; de kredietfaciliteit loopt nu voor vijf jaar bij een syndicaat van tien toonaangevende banken, met optionele verlengingen van één tot twee jaar.
De kredietfaciliteit werd oorspronkelijk in 2014 voor een periode van vijf jaar opgericht. Drie banken zaten in het syndicaat voor een totaalbedrag van 300 miljoen euro. De nieuwe faciliteit is bedoeld om het langetermijngroeiplan van het bedrijf te ondersteunen.
TIP Trailer Services Refinances Its Revolving Credit Facility
AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)– TIP Trailer Services, a portfolio company of I Squared Capital, has successfully refinanced its existing Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), increasing it from €700 million to €967 million while obtaining reduced margins and extra flexibility. The funding round was substantially oversubscribed, and the facility is now a syndication of ten leading banks and a maturity of five years with optional extensions of one to two years.
The facility was originally established in 2014 for a five-year period with three banks in the syndicate and a total amount of €300 million. The new facility aims to support the long-term growth plan of the business.
“The re-financing of our RCF and the liquidity it provides put us in a strong position to continue to invest in capex, PP&E, bolt-on acquisitions and broaden our geographic presence. It will support and underpin our growth aims over the coming years.”
Bob Fast, CEO, TIP Trailer Services
“We originally structured and funded our RCF with three banks four years ago and now we are delighted to have ten leading banks in the syndicate. There was strong demand from the market, driven by our business growth and performance over the past five years. As well as providing us with competitive cost of funds, it provides us with a solid and flexible base to grow, as well as navigate any economic downturn that might arise over the coming years. We are entering 2019 with a strong balance sheet.”
Malachy Mc Enroe, CFO, TIP Trailer Service
