The new facilities will give the Group flexibility to optimally time its return to the debt capital markets in line with its stated strategy to utilise bonds as the predominant long-term funding vehicle.<\/p>\n
Under the agreements, the Group\u2019s $2.25 billion syndicated loan obtained in April 2023 has been replaced by an AED9.2 billion ($2.5 billion equivalent) medium-term facility with a 2.5 years maturity, and an AED1.0 billion ($273 million equivalent) short-term facility with a 1.5 years tenor.<\/p>\n
The refinancing transactions followed Wednesday\u2019s US Federal Reserve Bank decision to start its interest rate easing cycle, which was the first-rate cut since March 2020.<\/p>\n
The two new lending facilities also extend debt maturity to 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n
Martin Aarup, AD Ports Gr
\noup Chief Financial Officer, said, \u201cThe new refinancing agreements not only give the Group greater financial flexibility and allow us to significantly lower our financing costs, but also they give us the timing flexibility and ability to optimally take advantage of the easing interest rates cycle to eventually refinance the Company\u2019s needs in the debt capital markets at longer tenors and at competitive rates in line with our capital structure.\u201d<\/p>\n
