Severfield has signed early a new three-year agreement with its existing lending syndicate, comprising a renewed £60m revolving credit facility and the continued term loan of £7.6m. The facilities are unsecured, include an accordion option of up to £30m (subject to consent) and two one-year extension options for the RCF. The refinancing delivers reduced margins and more favourable covenants, aims to increase financial flexibility and lengthen the maturity profile.
