General information
Le Groupe Bonduelle annonce la signature d’une ligne RCF (Revolving Credit Facility) d’une maturité de 5 ans (juin 2017) avec remboursement in fine pour un montant de 300 millions d’euros.
Cette ligne de crédit, très largement sur-souscrite, a été mise en place avec un pool bancaire international composé de :
- BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Nord de France, Groupe BPCE en tant que Mandated Lead Arrangers book runners,
- HSBC France, Mediobanca et Groupe Société Générale en tant que Mandated Lead Arrangers,
- CIC Nord-Ouest en tant qu’Arranger.
Cette ligne de crédit s’inscrit dans le cadre des trois acquisitions annoncées début 2012 (usines de surgelés d’Allens aux USA, usines de conserves de légumes de Globus en Russie et de Kelet-Food en Hongrie) et permet de faire face, dès à présent, aux échéances de remboursement de la composante obligataire des Obsaar 2007 et 2009 prévues en 2012 et 2013.
Cette opération permet au groupe de bénéficier d’une flexibilité financière et d’une liquidité accrues dans des conditions très compétitives, améliorant son coût moyen de financement, aujourd’hui limité à 3,5%, tout en accroissant la maturité de sa dette.
Ce refinancement illustre le soutien renouvelé de son pool bancaire historique mais également la confiance de nouveaux partenaires financiers et permettra au groupe de poursuivre son développement et l’internationalisation de son activité.
Le Groupe Bonduelle a été conseillé dans cette opération par le cabinet de conseil en opérations financières, bfinance à Paris et le cabinet d’avocats Wilkie Farr & Gallagher également à Paris. Les banques, quant à elles, ont été conseillées par le cabinet d’avocats Hogan Lovells.
