Sixt Leasing SE repays final partial loan amount to Sixt SE - reorganisation of Group financing thus successfully completed

  • Final outstanding amount of the Core Loan of EUR 190 million repaid to Sixt SE as planned at the earliest possible time in the end of June
  • Transition of the Group's financing towards independent financing instruments enables further improvements in the interest cost structure

Pullach, 2 July 2018 - Sixt Leasing SE, market leader in online sales of new vehicles and specialist for the management and full-service leasing of large fleets, has completely paid back the EUR 750 million loan (Core Loan) provided by Sixt SE in the context of the IPO and thus achieved a refinancing of the Sixt Leasing Group that is completely independent of Sixt SE. The final outstanding amount of EUR 190 million of the Core Loan was repaid last week by Sixt Leasing SE to Sixt SE as planned at the earliest possible time. The funds for the repayment come, in particular, from the proceeds of the EUR 250 million bond that was issued for this purpose and for general corporate financing on the capital market in the second quarter.

Björn Waldow, CFO of Sixt Leasing SE: "The complete repayment of the Core Loan is a milestone in the young capital market history of Sixt Leasing. With the redemption of the final outstanding amount to Sixt SE, we have successfully completed the transition of our Group financing towards own financing instruments, that started after the IPO in the year 2015, at the earliest possible time, thereby establishing a financing structure completely independent of our main shareholder. Also through to the redemption of the final partial amount, we expect positive effects on our interest costs again."

The Sixt Leasing Group's independent financing structure consists of a EUR 500 million asset-backed securities (ABS) programme, bonds with a volume of EUR 500 million, negotiated bank lines of around EUR 400 million as well as borrower's note loans of EUR 30 million. With the establishment of this broadly diversified structure and the recently launched EUR 1 billion debt Issuance programme, Sixt Leasing SE has created the financial basis for the growth path planned as part of the 'DRIVE> 2021' strategic programme.
