Global Blue Announces Repricing of Term Loan and Revolving facility
Global Blue Group Holding AG (the “Company”) (NYSE:GB) has continued to demonstrate a robust recovery, underpinned by the entrenched behaviour of travel and shopping, driving significant EBITDA and cash flow growth. Consequently, net leverage reduced from 4.5x in September 2023 to 3.6x in December 2023, with the downward trajectory continuing, as the Company continues to actively de-lever towards its public leverage target of less than 2.5x. In light of this ongoing recovery and deleveraging trajectory, the Company launched a repricing of its seven year €610 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) and €97.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”).
The Company today announced that its subsidiary Global Blue Acquisition B.V. (the “Borrower”) has successfully allocated the repricing of Term Loan and Revolving Facility. The repricing is expected to close on or prior to 30 June 2024 and upon closing will reduce the interest rate margin applicable to the Borrower under the Term Loan by 100 basis points from 5.00% p.a. to 4.00% p.a. and the Revolving Facility by 100 basis points from 4.50% to 3.50%, in each case subject to further reduction pursuant to a margin ratchet based on leverage.
