(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) May 11, 2026 LACROIX completes a €77.6 million syndicated loan strengthening the Group's financial stability
LACROIX announces the setting up of its inaugural syndicated loan, intended to refinance part of its existing debt and to finance its investments in line with its 2027 strategic roadmap.
This financing comprises:
partial refinancing of existing debt amounting to €44.6 million, with an extended maturity of 7 years. a €30 million confirmed credit line dedicated to investment financing (capex and minority share acquisitions). a €3 million revolving credit facility (RCF) with a four-year maturity in addition to existing short-term credit lines.
Through this new financing arrangement, LACROIX simplifies and strengthens its financing structure, extends the average maturity of its debt (to more than 4.5 years), and benefits from a legal framework providing enhanced flexibility and responsiveness to meet its future needs.
The syndicated loan was arranged with a pool of seven banks, comprising LCL as Coordinator, Mandated Lead Arranger and Facility Agent, Banque Populaire Grand Ouest as Arranger, and the participation of Arkéa Banque Entreprises et Institutionnels, Banque CIC Ouest, BNP Paribas, Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel d'Ille et Vilaine, and Société Générale.
The financial terms provide for a competitive initial spread, adjustable based on the Group's leverage ratio, as well as a financial covenant (net leverage ratio ≤ 3.0), and dividend limitation consistent with the Group's historical practices.
This financing reflects the renewed confidence of LACROIX's banking partners in the strength of its business model and the relevance of its strategic trajectory.
LACROIX was advised by KPMG Corporate Finance as financial advisor and De Pardieu Brocas Maffei as legal counsel. The lending banks were advised by DLA Piper France.
