Adevinta ASA (ADE) - Adevinta Announces Proposed Term Loan B Facility

Oslo, 13 October 2020 - Adevinta ASA (the "Company" or "Adevinta") announced

plans to syndicate a new senior secured Term Loan B facility consisting of a

EUR-denominated tranche in an aggregate principal amount of approximately EUR900

million and a U.S. dollar-denominated tranche in an aggregate principal amount

of approximately EUR425 million  ($500 million equivalent) (together, the "TLB

Facility").  Subsequent to the launch of the TLB Facility, Adevinta intends to

commence a private offering to eligible purchasers of additional senior secured

financing (together with the TLB Facility, the "Senior Secured Financing"),

subject to market conditions. The aggregate principal amount of the Senior

Secured Financing is expected to be EUR2.386 billion, which will be used in part

to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of eBay

Classifieds Group ("eCG") and refinance existing debt.  Adevinta ASA,  Adevinta

Finance AS and eBay Classifieds Holding BV will be borrowers under the TLB

Facility. The Senior Secured Financing will be guaranteed by certain of

Adevinta's and, following the acquisition of eCG, eCG's subsidiaries.

The Senior Secured Financing will be secured on a pari passu senior basis by

first-priority security interests in shares of the guarantors as well as certain

material bank accounts and the intercompany receivables of Adevinta ASA.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer

to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in

any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

None of the Senior Secured Financing has been, and will not be, registered under

the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any state securities laws and may

not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an

applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or

any applicable state securities laws.
