Delticom AG: successful conclusion of a syndicated loan agreement

Funding follow-up – Hannover, December 20, 2021 – Delticom AG (WKN 514680, ISIN DE 00005146807, index code DEX) today entered into a two-year syndicated loan agreement with Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank and Sparkasse Hannover, who are also represented in the previous group of financiers. The purposes are general corporate financing of Delticom Group, recovery of existing financial obligations under the Restructuring Loan Agreement of December 13, 2019, as well as financing of Delticom Group general letter of credit requirements and guarantees. The funding framework that will be available to the Company in the future through the syndication agreement is adequately designed in relation to its future growth objectives.

As of the end of the contractually stipulated restructuring period on December 31, 2021, three of the six lenders as bank financers will withdraw at their request after the lines of credit they may have withdrawn at that time have been fully repaid.

Today’s restructuring agreement with the remaining lending banks has been extended until January 31, 2022, so that the Company and these banks will have sufficient time to prepare the payment terms under the new syndication agreement.

The trustee agreement relating to the shares of the principal investor Prüfer GmbH entered into in connection with the restructuring agreement has today been terminated.

The successful completion of the operational reorganization was announced in August by the Restructuring and Transformation Consultant, Struktur’s management partner. With the first installment planned for January 2022 under the syndication agreement, the company’s financial restructuring will also be completed.
