  • Neinor Homes seeks to anticipate the land acquisition program, taking advantage of its privileged origination and execution capacity and the outstanding market momentum in Spain. The Company expects to start deploying the facility immediately and part of it could be used to close the EUR 100m+ advanced negotiations pipeline

 

  • In case the facility is completely drawn down in H2 2017 to successfully close land acquisitions of the Company’s pipeline and a significant part of these projects are successfully launched, the Company could potentially evaluate the reassessment of Neinor Homes’ 2020 run-rate targets

 

Madrid, August 29th, 2017.- Neinor Homes has just submitted to the CNMV (the Spanish stock regulator) a relevant fact, to communicate the closing of a financing agreement with JP Morgan. Highlights below:

 

  • Neinor Homes closed yesterday a EUR 150m financing agreement with JP Morgan through a bridge loan. The Company will use the proceeds to anticipate its land acquisition program, taking advantage of its privileged origination and execution capacity and the outstanding market momentum in Spain.

 

  • The facility has favorable financing conditions (annual all in cost below 450 bps) that make the deal accretive to the Company’s existing Business Plan and will allow Neinor Homes to anticipate approx. EUR 150m of land acquisition. These competitive financing conditions demonstrate the Company’s strength and the confidence of the financing institutions in Neinor Homes’ execution capacity.

 

  • The loan has a maturity of up to 24 months and the Company expects to repay it with the proceeds resulting from the ordinary business. The covenant is Net Debt / GAV under 45% and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. No changes to the existing financing arrangements needed.

 

  • Neinor Homes has a EUR 100m+ pipeline of deals in final stages of Due Diligence that mean the Company can start deploying this line almost immediately these acquisitions are closed. In case the facility is completely drawn down in H2 2017 to successfully close land acquisitions of the Company's pipeline and a significant part of these projects are successfully launched, the Company could potentially re-assess Neinor Homes' 2020 run-rate targets.
