AALST-EREMBODEGEM, Belgium, June 1, 2023-

Ontex Group NV (Euronext Brussels: ONTEX) (“Ontex”), a leading developer and producer of hygienic products and solutions for retailers and healthcare, announces that it has reimbursed its €220 million euro term loan, with proceeds from its recently divested Mexican business activities. It also reached an agreement with the bank syndicate to extend its current revolving credit facility of up to €250 million, from June 2024 to December 2025.

The maximum amount of the extended revolving credit facility is raised to €270 million until June 2024 and then set at €243 million until maturity. Initially, it carries a slightly higher interest rate than before the extension, similarly based on EURIBOR plus a margin. The margin is subject to the leverage ratio and equals 2.6% at a leverage of 4.0x, which is the maximum leverage target set by Ontex for the end of 2023. The facility continues to limit dividend pay-out over its term and remains subject to covenant tests, requiring the leverage ratio not to exceed 4.25x by the end of 2023 and to decrease further thereafter [1].
