Lindab International AB :Lindab signs new credit agreements

Lindab has today signed credit agreements with Nordea, SEB and Svensk Exportkredit (SEK). The new long-term credit limits amount to SEK 1,600 m from Nordea and SEB, and SEK 500 m from SEK. The credit limit with SEB/Nordea is valid for 3 years and the credit limit with SEK is valid for 5 years. The agreements replace the previous credit agreement of SEK 2,800 m. In addition to the long term agreements, a number of short-term overdraft facilities and guarantee frameworks will be signed primarily with Nordea and SEB. These facilities were previously part of the long-term credit limit.

"The new agreements offer substantially improved terms with regard to margins and flexibility, which of course is positive for Lindab," comments Per Nilsson, CFO at Lindab.
