press release



Almere, 23 September 2015 - On 23 September 2015 USG People repaid a € 60 million subordinated loan early. The loan, which was entered into in September 2013 and had a tenor until 31 December 2016, was repaid at no charge.

In the past few years the total debt of USG People has been substantially reduced and the balance sheet has been further strengthened. The current financing structure and positive operating cash flow provide comfortable scope and security to be able to execute our strategic plans unhindered.

Converting the € 60 million loan into a non-subordinated loan will result in a significant reduction in

annual interest expenses. This will have a positive effect on net income as from the fourth quarter of 2015.
