Saipem has entered into two new credit facilities totalling approximately €860 million with a pool of leading national and international banks.
The first credit facility consists of a Senior Unsecured Term Loan of approximately €390 million. SACE, the Italian Export Credit Agency, will guarantee 70% of the loan under the " Garanzia SupportItalia" instrument. The loan will have a duration of approximately 5 years, with a pre-amortisation period of 2 years. The effectiveness of the guarantee and the utilisation of the loan are subject to the issue of a specific decree by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF).
The second credit facility consists of a Revolving Credit Facility of around €470 million with a duration of 3 years and a backup function, which is not expected to be used.
Through the new credit facilities, Saipem further strengthens its financial structure and liquidity.
