£410million Debt Financing Facility

GlobalData Plc, the leading provider of industry intelligence, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a new three year £410million debt financing facility (the "Debt Facility") which matures on 5 August 2025, with an option to extend further by a year. The Debt Facility comprises a £290million term loan, to be used in part to repay existing indebtedness of £230million, as well as a Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") of £120million. The RCF is currently undrawn, but will be used to support long-term growth of the business, including M&A.

Mike Danson, Chief Executive Officer of GlobalData Plc, commented:

"The new Debt Facility gives the Group additional firepower to execute against its stated M&A growth strategy over the medium term. Our Platform offers a significant opportunity to create shareholder value through strategic acquisitions and it is pleasing to have secured the financing to support this.

We thank our existing lenders, who have all extended their support through participation in this issuance, plus our new lenders in a wider and marquee lender book."
