Asnières-sur-Seine, February 19th 2015
Together with its subsidiary APRR (Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône), Eiffarie, a company owned by Eiffage and Macquarie managed funds, has successfully refinanced the credit facilities contracted in 2012 and originally raised for the acquisition of the APRR group, which were due to expire in February 2017.
The transaction, for a total amount of €3.3 billion, has been signed on February 19th 2015 and comprises two new credit facilities with the following characteristics:
In an unprecedented environment, the success of this refinancing, oversubscribed by 25%, illustrates the renewed confidence of the Eiffarie-APRR group's banking partners. The transaction follows three APRR bond issuances since January 2014 totalling €2.4 billion and confirms the group's ability to raise new finance. It further permits to significantly lengthen the average maturity of its debt whilst taking advantage of market conditions and own rating improvement to reduce the latter's cost.
APRR is currently rated BBB+/Stable by both Standard & Poor's and Fitch.
