ATOUT CAPITAL advised PRODWARE for the raising of a bond (EURO PP) of €50m, structured with 4 maturity installments from 4 to 7 years. This financing is part of a greater transaction involving debt restructuring for a total sum of €79m, arranged for the BANQUE INTERNATIONALE à LUXEMBOURG.
This raising of finance is aimed at allowing the Group to reduce its short term engagements and to put in place stable resources, while considerably extending the debt maturity. This transaction is also a prerequisite to an investment phase dedicated to the enrichment of PRODWARE’S technological offer and the strengthening of its position abroad, through acquisitions, principally in Europe.
