ANALYSIS: New deal improves Vestas' position in Mitsubishi talks

The agreement signed between Vestas and its bank syndicate removes a major cause of uncertainty among investors and ends long-running fears that the company would have to carry out a new equity issue to raise cash.

But the deal commits Vestas to a new, more disciplined way of operating, by curtailing its financial room for manoeuvre.

The core of the agreement is a €900m ($1.16bn) syndicated loan facility with its existing lender group of nine international banks. This is structured as a €650m revolving credit facility and a €250m amortising term loan, and replaces the current syndicated facility of €1.3bn. Including other related deals, Vestas ends up with credit facilities of €1.155bn, as well as a corporate eurobond of €600m.
