Allwyn International AG announced that it has entered into a new €2.15 billion Senior Facilities Agreement with a syndicate of international banks.

Lenders under the Senior Facilities Agreement have committed to provide funding to Allwyn in an aggregate amount of €2.15 billion, comprised of €400 million of amortising term loans, €900 million of bullet term loans, a €350 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a €500 million delayed drawdown term loan. All the facilities have a five-year maturity. Allwyn will use the proceeds to refinance its existing €1.7 billion syndicated bank facility (of which, €1.2 billion is currently drawn), to support its growth plans, and for general corporate purposes.

The margin on key facilities is 150 bps lower than the margin on the refinanced facility.

The liabilities under the Senior Facilities Agreement will rank pari passu with the existing debt of Allwyn International AG and Allwyn Entertainment Financing (UK) plc, under the existing intercreditor agreement.

Kenneth Morton, Allwyn CFO, commented: “I’m delighted with the level of interest that the transaction received, with the majority of existing banks upsizing their commitments and a further increase in the number of banks in our banking group.

This syndication reflects the strength of our credit and confidence in our strategy.

Our broad and diversified access to capital markets continues to allow us to achieve highly attractive pricing and terms across instruments and currencies.

Following the successful repricing of our USD Term Loan B and debut EUR Term Loan B issuance earlier this year, this transaction is another step forward in our proactive management of our capital structure, reducing our interest costs and further extending our maturity profile.“
