Metso has signed a new €700 million sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (RCF) agreement to refinance the Group’s existing €600 million facility. The syndicated five-year facility has two one-year extension options, subject to the lender’s approval, and it will be used as a backup for general corporate purposes.
The pricing mechanism of the RCF is linked to Metso’s sustainability targets, and the development of these targets will be measured annually. The facility margin will be partly adjusted based on Metso’s annual progress in meeting these targets.
