announces the setting up of a new financing structure for a total amount of €200m, consisting of a €135m Euro PP bond issue with a maturity of 7 years, and a €65m syndicated loan with a tenor of 5 years plus one year extension option.

"This transaction allows to optimize Cegedim's financial structure, with proceeds from the bond issue enabling to refinance all Group's debt with a long-term financing base."
