Mitie Group agrees terms for refinancing of £120m US Private Placement Notes

Mitie Group plc has agreed terms with Pricoa Private Capital and NYL Investors LLC for the issuance of £120m of US Private Placement (USPP) Notes.

The new notes will be formally issued under a delayed funding arrangement in December 2022, avoiding any overlap with the existing £121.5m of notes that mature in December 2022.

The new notes are split equally between 8, 10 and 12 year maturities, and will be issued at an average coupon of 2.94%, significantly below the current coupon.

Simon Kirkpatrick, Chief Financial Officer commented:

"This is the final step in our refinancing strategy, having secured an investment grade credit rating in June and refinanced our Revolving Credit Facility in September. The agreed terms reflect the strength of our balance sheet, which is as stable and flexible as it has been in recent history, and provides a strong base for future growth."
