Deutsche EuroShop: EUR 132.2 million refinancing concluded
Hamburg, July 6, 2009 - The Shopping Center-Investor Deutsche Euroshop has
refinanced two loans worth over ten years. The firm has entered into a new
loan agreement that includes a EUR 50 million loan to be extended in
October 2009 as well a EUR 82.2 million loan not due until 2013.
The lender is Deutsche Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank AG (DG HYP), which
will replace the previous creditor banks. The collateral for the loan is
the Rhein-Neckar Zentrum in Viernheim, in which Deutsche EuroShop owns a
99.9% interest.
'This refinancing will reduce our annual interest payments by over one
million Euros,' said Olaf Borkers, the Chief Financial Officer for Deutsche
EuroShop. 'The average remaining life of our loans will rise to about eight
years. We will not have to renegotiate any more long term debt financing
until the end of 2012,' he continued.
