Marel: New USD 300 million term loan
On 2 November, Marel signed a new 3-year USD 300m term loan
with an initial margin of 250bp on top of Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (SOFR). The margin will move in line with the net
debt/EBITDA ratio and has a two-year uncommitted extension
option.
Part of this new financing will be used to repay the EUR 150m
multi-currency bridge facility drawn for operational headroom when
acquiring Wenger. While Marel is within the acquisition spike and
covenant terms of the EUR 700 million revolving facility, Marel and
the banking group have agreed on additional covenant headroom as a
safety measure for temporary swings in cash flow and operational
performance as well as FX volatility.
Marel has committed liquidity of EUR 170.3m at the end of 3Q22,
and the new loan will increase liquidity to EUR 326.6m including
cash at hand.
The USD 300m refinancing was signed with the same group of
leading international banks providing the EUR 700m revolving
facility: ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Danske Bank, HSBC, ING, Rabobank,
and UniCredit. The banking group mirrors Marel’s geographical
presence and is thus well placed to support Marel’s business going
forward.
