Under the leadership of Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg as MLA and bookrunner
a prolongation of the previously existing syndicated loan between the VBH
Holding AG and five lending banks in Germany was signed today. The contract
period is extended until 2016 with this change agreement. In this context,
the participants changed and HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt AG has joined the
consortium as a new partner. Furthermore, future credit conditions have
improved for VBH and financial covenants were adapted according to the
business model of VBH. The syndicated loan has an unchanged volume of 100
million EUR and can be expanded to 120 million EUR. The existing security
structure remains mainly unchanged. With the signing of this change
agreement of the syndicated loan the VBH Group secures the medium-term
financing needs under current planning assumptions.
