Saint-Gobain extends the maturity and reduces the cost
of its Euro 4 billion undrawn bank facilities
Compagnie de Saint-Gobain signed today, with a group of 26
banks*, an undrawn revolving credit facility for an amount of Euro
2.5 billion, maturing in December 2018, with two options for an
additional one-year extension each.
The facility was significantly oversubscribed with bank
commitments reaching in excess of Euro 3.6 billion, which
underlines banks' confidence in the credit quality of
Saint-Gobain.
It replaces a facility of an equivalent amount which was due to
mature in 2015.
At the same time Compagnie de Saint-Gobain obtained the
agreement from 27 banks* to extend the maturity - from December
2017 until December 2018 - and reduce the cost of another Euro 1.5
billion undrawn revolving credit facility.
The initial margin for both facilities is set at 50 basis
points, based on Saint-Gobain's long-term senior debt being
currently rated BBB by Standard & Poor's and Baa2 by
Moody's.
These operations confirm the Group's financial strength.
* Banks participating in at least one of the facilities are
listed below :
Banco Santander, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Barclays, BBVA,
BNP Paribas, Citi, Commerzbank, Crédit Agricole Corporate and
Investment Bank, Crédit Mutuel - CIC, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, JP
Morgan, Mizuho, Natixis, Royal Bank of Scotland, Société Générale
