Outokumpu has signed an unsecured EUR 700 million sustainability linked revolving credit facility with its key banks

Outokumpu has today signed an unsecured EUR 700 million revolving credit facility, which will replace its existing, currently unused secured revolving credit facility of EUR 532 million. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes of the Group. The new facility which matures in February 2026 includes a 12-month extension option. The margin of the new facility is linked to emission reductions in line with the approved emission reduction target by the Science Based Targets initiative for 2030.

Says Pia Aaltonen-Forsell, CFO at Outokumpu: “As part of our de-risking strategy, we have secured our liquidity for the coming years by replacing our existing secured revolving credit facility, with a new unsecured revolving credit facility. One of the key objectives for us has been to move into unsecured financing. As the sustainability leader in our industry, it is also important to show commitment to our sustainability targets and therefore it has been agreed that the interest margin of the new facility is linked to the fulfilment of one of our most important sustainability targets of reducing CO₂ emissions.”

BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Helsinki Branch, Danske A/S, Nordea Bank ABP, Filial i Sverige, OP Corporate Bank PLC, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Publ) and Swedbank AB (Publ) acted as Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.
