In reference to current report no. 13/2014 of 3 June 2014, the Management Board of Rawlplug S.A. (the “Company”) announces that the Company and its subsidiaries Koelner Polska Sp. z o.o., Koelner Łańcucka Fabryka Śrub Sp. z o.o. and FPiN Wapienica Sp. z o.o. have executed trade credit agreements with Bank Handlowy w Warszawie S.A. These agreements have had the following effect on Rawlplug Group’s financing structure:
- the existing bridge credit limit for Rawlplug Group has been lowered from PLN 119.5 million to PLN 42.5 million,
- Rawlplug Group’s reduced bridge credit limit has been replaced with trade credit facilities for specific companies (credit financing based on trade receivables, with interest based on WIBOR 1M plus bank margin), with the following maximum limits: for Koelner Polska Sp. z o.o.: PLN 46.0 million, for Koelner Łańcucka Fabryka Śrub Sp. z o.o.: PLN 21.2 million, for Rawlplug S.A.: PLN 6.0 million, and for FPiN Wapienica Sp. z o.o.: PLN 3.8 million.
The global limit issued to Rawlplug Group by Bank Handlowy w Warszawie S.A. has not changed and amounts to PLN 119.5 million, and all of the above changes occurred within the existing limit. Over the upcoming months, additional Rawlplug Group companies will join this financing structure: Rawlplug Ltd. (U.K.), Rawlplug Middle East FZE (UAE), Rawl France SAS (France) and Koelner Cz s.r.o. (Czech Republic). The Company will update on any progress made via current reports. The solution being implemented, which is unique as far as Poland is concerned, will improve the effectiveness of cash management and asset (receivables) use, and will contribute to significantly increasing Rawlplug Group’s liquidity.
The total value of the executed agreements, the last of which was executed on 1 June 2015, meets one of the criteria for being recognised as a significant agreement. The value of the agreements exceeds 10% of the Company’s equity.
