Synsam

Synsam has entered into binding agreements relating to five year loan facilities with the purpose of refinancing existing bank loans. These new loan facilities comprise multicurrency term loan facilities of SEK 2,500 million and a revolving loan facility of SEK 1,000 million.

The banking group consists of Danske Bank, Nordea and Swedbank. The new agreements are expected to lead to lower future financing costs.

As a result of the refinancing, Synsam will expense its remaining capitalised costs relating to the existing bank loans, as well as certain costs relating to the new loan facilities, in Q2 2025. Such costs are expected to amount to approximately SEK 9 million and will be accounted for as financial items. The remaining up-front costs relating to the new loan facilities will be capitalised and amortised over the tenor.
