Stabilus SE: Stabilus secures long-term financing with new credit facilities

Luxembourg/Koblenz, July 5, 2022 – Stabilus SE (ISIN: LU1066226637), one of the world’s leading suppliers of motion control solutions for a wide range of industries, has signed an agreement for credit facilities totaling €450 million with a term of five years (plus an extension option for two additional years). The facilities comprise a syndicated term loan facility of €100 million and a syndicated revolving credit facility of €350 million. With this step, Stabilus has secured attractive conditions, which foresee an interest rate between 50 and 150 basis points above Euribor, depending on the company’s leverage ratio.

Stabilus will use these funds to refinance existing credit facilities from June 2016 and secure the Group’s financing structure for the next five to seven years. Stabilus is thus excellently positioned both for the planned organic growth and for further acquisitions.

Dr. Michael Büchsner, CEO of Stabilus, said: „The current refinancing provides us with the necessary financial headroom to continue our positive corporate development and pursue our long-term strategy STAR 2030. I would particularly like to thank our long-standing CFO, Mark Wilhelms, who will be leaving Stabilus in September and who has played a key role in shaping our financing strategy. He hands over the finance department to his successor Stefan Bauerreis with strong balance sheet and well positioned for the coming years.”
