Cape completes refinancing and extension of credit
facilities
Cape plc is pleased to announce that it has agreed an "amend and
extend" of its existing revolving credit facility, increasing the
facility by a further GBP5m to GBP300m and retaining the GBP50m
accordion feature. The facility has a contractual maturity of 23
June 2020, extending the existing debt facility by two years, with
an option to extend the facility by a further year by mutual
consent. Support from both existing lenders and new lenders offered
Cape the opportunity to extend both the term and capacity of the
facility and supports the organic and acquisitive growth ambitions
of the Group.
The facility has been arranged with a group of 9 banks,
comprising existing syndicate members of AIB Group (UK) P.L.C,
Barclays Bank plc, DNB Bank ASA, and HSBC Bank plc, ICBC (London)
PLC, Lloyds Bank plc and National Westminster Bank PLC and welcomes
DBS Bank Ltd and The Governor and Company of the Bank of
Ireland.
Commenting on the announcement, Michael Speakman, Chief
Financial Officer, said:
"We are pleased with the outcome of this amendment process. We
expect the extension to provide flexibility and support our
strategy for future growth. We appreciate the strong support that
our lenders have shown us during this period of market uncertainty
and are delighted to be both retaining existing banks and
initiating relationships with new lenders. Completion of this amend
and extend during such a difficult economic time for the industry
is a testament to the recent financial performance of the group in
challenging market conditions and provides the financial capacity
to exploit strategic growth opportunities in the future."
