Revolving credit facility
20 February 2024
GCP Infra is pleased to announce that on 15 February 2024, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility ("RCF"). The Company has reduced the total RCF commitments to £150 million, from £190 million previously, in line with the Company's stated capital allocation policy that has been set out in the 2023 annual report.
The RCF has been agreed with four lenders, Lloyds Bank, Mizuho Bank, Allied Irish Bank and Clydesdale Bank (trading as Virgin Money). The new facility has a three-year term and was refinanced on similar terms to the previous RCF, with the most notable amendment being the introduction of additional flexibility in utilisations and repayments to allow the Company to enhance its working capital management. The interest and commitment fees charged remain unchanged at SONIA plus 2.00% per annum and 0.70% per annum respectively.
As part of the refinance, the Company repaid c. £10 million of the RCF, reducing the drawn balance to c. £96 million, after accounting for accrued interest and refinance costs (31 December 2023: £104 million). The Company's net debt position is currently c. £72 million.
The Company remains committed to materially repay the RCF and intends to return at least £50 million of capital to shareholders during 2024 as has been set out previously. Further updates on the progress of the Company's disposal activities will be provided in due course.
