October 09, 2023 - NRC Group ASA ("NRC") has mandated Danske Bank as Global
Coordinator and Green Structuring Advisor, and Carnegie as Joint Lead
Manager, to arrange a series of physical and virtual fixed income investor
meetings commencing 10 October 2023. A new 4-year NOK 400 million senior
unsecured floating rate green bond issue may follow, subject to inter alia
market conditions.
Net proceeds from the contemplated bond issue will be used in accordance with
the newly established Green Finance Framework, which obtained a second party
opinion from S&P Global Ratings - receiving their highest rating of Dark Green.
In conjunction with the contemplated new bond issue, NRC will offer a
conditional buyback of the outstanding bonds with ticker NRC01 (ISIN
NO0010861768), contingent upon subscription in the new bonds. Subject to
completion of the contemplated new bond issue, NRC will call the remaining net
outstanding amount of NRC01 in whole.
In connection with the contemplated new bond issue, NRC has received commitment
from Danske Bank for a NOK 400 million overdraft facility and extended the
maturity of the existing term loan, EUR 22 million, from 2024 to 2027. The
increased overdraft facility will be available for working capital purposes and
will enhance the group's financial flexibility. The bank refinancing is subject
to the successful placement of the new bond issue.
