Modern Times Group MTG AB, the international entertainment broadcasting group, today announced the arrangement of a new five year SEK 3,500 million revolving multi-currency credit facility. The facility is unsecured and there are no required amortizations. The facility has been provided by a group of seven leading international banks - Deutsche Bank, Calyon, DnB NOR, Nordea, SEB Merchant Banking, Svenska Handelsbanken and West LB as mandated lead arrangers. Deutsche Bank has been selected to act as facility agent. The new facility replaces the existing SEK 800 million credit facility and may be drawn to cover the potential repayment of the EUR 120 million convertible bond maturing in June 2006, as well as to fund the continued expansion of the Group. The Group’s net cash position amounted to SEK 638 million as at the last reported balance sheet date of 30 September 2005. MTG was advised in this transaction by Banque Invik.
