Dynea enters into a new 410 million euro credit facility – The company redeems its outstanding notes and repays current bank loans
Dynea International Oy today announced the redemption of all of its outstanding 12¼% notes due 2010 on a redemption date of November 1, 2005. The notes will be redeemed pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the notes at a redemption price of 106.125% plus accrued and unpaid interest to November 1, 2005.
To finance the redemption and to refinance Dynea Chemical’s existing senior credit facility, Dynea International has entered into a new eight year, €410 million credit facility with a Nordic group of financial institutions led by Nordea.
