Maire places new EUR 185 million sustainable loan

Maire placed a new EUR 185m loan in the Schuldschein Sustainability-Linked format (private placement regulated by German law). The senior unsecured loan, explains a note, comprises two tranches with three- and five-year maturities, both at variable interest rates. The applicable 6-month Euribor margin will be 1.50 per cent and 1.70 per cent for the three- and five-year tranches, respectively. The facility also includes a pricing mechanism linked to decarbonisation targets in accordance with the Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework adopted in October 2025. The proceeds will be used to support the company's financing needs, mainly the early repayment of existing lines. The financing was placed with national and international banks and financial institutions mainly in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, also receiving support from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. The facility also provides for the possibility of increasing the total amount up to EUR 300 million by the end of July 2026, confirming the flexibility built into the financial structure to support the Company's strategic priorities. Bnp Paribas, Bper - Corporate & Investment Banking Division, Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo (Imi Cib Division), UniCredit Bank GmbH acted as arrangers. Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank acted as sustainability coordinator and UniCredit Bank GmbH as paying agent. Mariano Avanzi, Cfo of Maire, commented: 'We are pleased to announce the successful placement of this Schuldschein Sustainability-linked loan, which will enable us to further optimise our financial structure. After the issue of the Sustainability-linked Bond a few months ago, this continued interest confirms the market's confidence in Maire's financial strength and its commitment to sustainable growth."
