Press release

Ströer optimizes its maturity structure and increases its financial flexibility through successful refinancing (Kopie 1)

Ströer today successfully placed a borrower’s note loan worth EUR 170 m on the capital market. Due to demand, the transaction was oversubscribed. It was possible to secure attractive conditions for the subscribed tranches. The successful issuance of the borrower’s note loan is an important step in Ströer’s long-term financing strategy. The borrower’s note loan will primarily be used to repay the syndicated bank loan (term loan portion) and for general business purposes. By doing so, the company is further diversifying its investor base, increasing its own financial flexibility and optimizing the maturity structure of its financial liabilities.

The transaction was overseen by Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and SEB. The placement was received by German and international investors.
