This comprises a €240 million amortising term loan with a tenor of four years and a €40 million revolving credit facility with a tenor of three years with an option to extend.

This is alongside for ‘general corporate purposes that support the group’s long-term growth strategy’. Chief Finance Officer Alex McIntosh says: ‘This new facility will provide additional financing for our proposed acquisition of GfK’s Consumer Panel business and provide further firepower for investing in our strategic growth plan. We thank our lenders for their continued support.’ Current stock price: 760.00 pence, up 1.3% 12-month change: down 13% Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
