Fnac Darty decides the withdrawal
of the offering of €300 million senior bond issue due January 2029
Following its press release of September 12, 2023, Fnac Darty decides, today, the withdrawal of the offering of €300 million senior bond issue due January 2029, given current market conditions not enough attractive.
Fnac Darty benefits from a solid financial structure, with no short-term maturities and no immediate refinancing needs. Indeed, in the absence of the issue, the Delayed-Draw Term Loan (DDTL), an undrawn bank credit line of €300 million dedicated to the refinancing of outstanding May 2024 senior bonds, is maintained in its entirety. The DDTL has an initial maturity of December 2025, with a possible extension to 2027, upon lenders’ approval.
