Kongsberg Automotive enhances its financial capabilities by an additional "Receivables Securitization" facility
We have today, September 25[th], entered into an agreement with NORD/LB and
Finacity Corporation ("Finacity") to provide to Kongsberg Automotive Group a
committed 60 Million EUR facility with a three years tenure, intended to take
effect on October 19[th], 2020. The securitization program will finance trade
receivables originated by the Group's businesses in the US, Canada, Poland and
Slovakia, with the option for French receivables to be added in the future.
This complements our liquidity improvement projects and provides to us very
efficient and flexible additional funding on top of the previously reported
increase in our Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) and the successfully completed
raise of new equity earlier this year.
We wish to thank NORD/LB and Finacity for their commitments.
