Debt facility will enable Kier to secure borrowing at fixed rates
Contractor Kier has announced it has secured a new 拢120m debt facility through a private placement in the US market.
The debt facility will allow Kier to be able to secure committed borrowing at fixed rates.
The placement comprises sterling and dollar notes, with maturities of between 7 and 10 years and an aggregate interest rate of around 4.5%.
Haydn Mursell (pictured), chief executive of Kier, said: 鈥淲e are delighted with the strong support shown by investors. Kier has used the US private placement market since 2003 to diversify the sources and maturities of its debt funding.
鈥淲ith a significant proportion of our debt now at a fixed rate and committed for at least the next five years, we have successfully reduced our exposure to anyincrease in interest rates over the longer-term.鈥�
