MHG - REFINANCING OF BANK FACILITIES
Marine Harvest ASA is pleased to announce an agreement to refinance its existing
bank facilities with a senior secured five year EUR 425m multicurrency revolving
credit facility ("Facility"), with its existing lenders; DNB, Nordea, Rabobank
and ABN AMRO.
The Facility includes an accordion increase option, which provides flexibility
for the parties to agree an increased size of the facility by further up to EUR
425 million during the term of Facility.
The principal financial covenant of the Facility is an equity ratio of no less
than 35% during the term. The remaining portfolio of interest bearing debt does
not include more restrictive financial covenants.
The portfolio of interest bearing debt does not include any scheduled
amortisations.
Marine Harvest is pleased by the reduced interest commitments and increased
financial flexibility generated by the combination of the Facility and the
recently issued EUR 375m convertible bond.
