Fresenius Medical Care successfully amends and extends its credit agreement, ahead of schedule
Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s largest provider of dialysis products and services, has successfully refinanced its existing senior secured credit agreement, originally maturing in 2019.

The new facility has an aggregate amount of approximately USD 3.9 billion and consists of revolving facilities and term loans, both U.S. Dollar and Euro denominated with maturities in 2020 and 2022.
