gategroup Successfully Prices Refinancing Transaction, Paving the Way for Growth and Market Expansion
gategroup Holding AG (“gategroup”) is pleased to announce the successful pricing of its comprehensive refinancing package, comprising two term loans of EUR 675 million and USD 500 million, both with a tenure of 7 years, and a CHF 300 million multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “new financing”) with a tenure of 6.5 years. The transaction was significantly oversubscribed and priced at the tighter end of guidance - strongly underscoring market confidence in gategroup’s strategy and performance.
This transaction represents gategroup’s debut as a Term Loan B (TLB) issuer, and the company is pleased to have attracted strong demand from leading global institutional investors. The level of interest received highlights the trust placed in gategroup’s credit profile, operational resilience, and future growth potential.
The New Financing is backed by a syndicate of top-tier global financial institutions and supports the refinancing of existing loans, notably the EUR 250 million Term Loan A and the CHF 415 million revolving credit facility, while also improving liquidity and flexibility.
“This successful refinancing marks a pivotal milestone for us,” said Christoph Schmitz, Chief Executive Officer of gategroup. “The broad-based support from a large group of premier banking partners and top global funds is a powerful endorsement of our business and strategy. This transaction diversifies gategroup´s funding base and allows us to invest in long-term initiatives, expand our global footprint, and further elevate our market-leading services in airline catering and hospitality.”
With the anticipated upgrade in its corporate credit rating to B2 (stable) / B+ (stable) by Moody’s and S&P Global respectively, gategroup gains improved access to capital markets. The refinancing significantly enhances the company’s capital structure and positions it for sustainable growth and value creation.
Urs Schwendinger, Chief Financial Officer of gategroup, added: “We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this transaction, which despite volatile market conditions has achieved several notable milestones among deals launched post-the US tariff announcements, including the largest cross-border loan issuance, largest debut issuance, and in its segment and rating universe, the largest new money loan deal and the largest Swiss issuance.”
