REFINANCED BANK FACILITIES EXTENDED TO JUNE 2012
GAME is pleased to announce that on 29 July 2009 the Group signed new borrowing
arrangements for a GBP175m three year facility maturing in June 2012, replacing
the GBP125m facility due to expire in May 2010. The facility is with a syndicate
of five banks, including existing lenders (see note 1).
The facility comprises a GBP50m term loan and a GBP125m multi-currency revolving
credit facility, at a margin range of between 250 and 300 basis points above the
three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The new arrangement will
repay the existing facility, and cover working capital requirements
and increase financial flexibility for the future.
Commenting on the new facility Ben White, Group Finance Director, said:
"It is pleasing that the new facilities have been secured from a combination of
banks with whom we have enjoyed a long term banking relationship such as RBS and
Barclays, and new lenders that have recognised the Group's leading PC and video
games proposition both in the UK and internationally.
The facilities further enhance an already strong balance sheet profile."
The Group will enter a close period on the 31st July 2009 in advance of the
announcement of the Group's Interim results on the 23rd September 2009.
