CITYCON OYJ Stock Exchange Release 22 December 2015 at 14.30 hrs

Citycon Norway AS has completed the refinancing of Sektor Gruppen’s existing debt by signing a local secured bank loan of NOK 1.3 billion (approx. EUR 140 million) with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) and Danske Bank A/S. The new credit facility is used to refinance existing Norwegian bank debt of NOK 1.3 billion.

The loan tenor is 5.5 years and the loan terms include a one-year extension option that can extend the maturity subject to bank approval. Citycon has fixed the interest cost of the NOK 1.0 billion term loan for 5.5 years, corresponding to a total fixed cost of debt of approximately 2.5% p.a. The NOK 300 million revolving credit line is floating rate.
