Refinancing of Group Borrowings

Ibstock is pleased to announce that it has completed the refinancing of its March 2023 GBP215 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), diversifying its credit sources at attractive rates, whilst simultaneously achieving a significant extension of the Group's debt maturity profile.

The existing facility has been replaced with the issuance of GBP100 million of private placement notes from Pricoa Private Capital, with maturities of between 7 and 12 years at an average total cost of funds of 2.19%, and a GBP125 million RCF provided by a syndicate of five banks. The RCF is for an initial four year tenor, with a one year extension option, at a margin of between 1.60% and 2.60%, and also includes an additional GBP50 million uncommitted accordion.

Based on current leverage, the Group will pay interest under the RCF initially at a margin of 1.60% (compared to 2.00% under the previous RCF agreement).

These new facilities provide an efficient, long-term funding platform to support the Group's investment for growth.
