Sobi has decided to refinance its existing credit facility either by issuing a SEK denominated bond up to SEK 500 M or by entering into a new revolving credit facility with SEB and Nordea.
The purpose of the refinancing is to improve the financial flexibility and to extend the maturity profile. The refinancing will replace existing bank debt and will not increase Sobi's total debt. Sobi has appointed Nordea as Joint Bookrunner and Co-ordinator together with SEB as Joint Bookrunner to investigate a bond issue. The lead banks Nordea and SEB have committed to provide a credit facility in a corresponding amount in the event that Sobi does not proceed with the bond issue.
