Renewi signs €400m Revolving Credit Facility

Renewi plc (LSE: RWI), the leading international waste-to-product company, is pleased to announce the renewal of its Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF"). The facility size remains unchanged at €400m and is for an initial five-year term to 2028 with two one-year extension options. The Board remains committed to its long-term leverage target of 2.0x.

Key RCF parameters:

• The facility remains the same at €400m which maintains around €300m of available headroom.
• Each of the nine existing and new lenders offered increased commitments.
• There is also a €150m accordion option to increase the facility subject to lender approval at the time.
• The loan has an initial five-year term to 2028 with two one-year extension options to 2030.
• Financial covenants remain unchanged and are tested twice a year:
  • 3.50x for the leverage ratio of net debt to EBITDA; and
  • 3.00x for the interest cover ratio of net interest to EBITA.
• The margin is adjusted based on the prevailing leverage ratio at slightly improved levels.

Green and sustainability linked finance:

• Renewi continues to be entirely Green financed, based on the Group's Green Finance Framework (link), as reviewed by S&P as the second party opinion provider (link).
• Pricing is also linked to positive outcomes against the Company's three key themes:
  • 1. Enable the Circular Economy: improve the recycling rate towards our Mission 75 objective.
  • 2. Reduce Carbon Emissions: reduce scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions consistent with SBTi.
  • 3. Care for People: to further reduce the lost time injuries rate.
• In addition to the RCF facility, the Group has €305m of fixed rate bonds, EUPPs, and the EIB facility.
