HELICAL SECURES FIVE YEAR GBP400M REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
Helical today announces that is has entered into an amended and
restated GBP400m revolving credit facility ("RCF") with four of its
lenders, Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC UK Bank plc, National Westminster
Bank Plc and Wells Fargo Bank N.A., London Branch. The new
facility, initially repayable in July 2024, has two one-year
extension options which, if exercised, would extend the repayment
date to July 2026.
The facility replaces the existing GBP150m RCF and the GBP200m
development facility on the Company's largest asset, The Bower,
London, EC1, both of which have been repaid (to the extent drawn).
The terms of the new RCF allow drawdowns of up to 60% of value and
on completion the facility was GBP221m drawn (at 47% LTV), leaving
GBP179m available for future acquisitions.
Tim Murphy, Finance Director at Helical plc, commented:
"With just four floors (12% of space) remaining to be let at The
Bower, this new RCF secures the long term refinancing of this key
asset together with a portfolio of London and Manchester offices.
The new facility extends the average maturity of the Company's
borrowings to 4.7 years (31 March 2019: 2.7 years) and reduces the
weighted average interest rate to 3.6% (31 March 2019: 4.0%)."
