AC-Service AG Restructures its Corporate Financing
New long-term credit agreements signed / Existing acquisition financing
from 2006 fully repaid / Major investments in further growth within the
German-language SAP midmarket segment can be made as planned
Stuttgart, 24 June 2008 In line with its corporate planning, AC-Service
AG has concluded the realignment of its debt-financing strategy as
scheduled. The strategy calls for continuing to move forward along the
dynamic and robust growth path in the SAP midmarket segment where German is
spoken.
The companys Supervisory Board granted its approval to two long-term,
growth credit agreements with the two financing partners Dresdner Bank AG,
Frankfurt, and Landesbank Baden Württemberg, Stuttgart. The volume of the
two agreements totals EUR 9 million. Additional short-term lines of credit
were also signed. The terms of the two agreements expire in June 2012 and
June 2013 respectively. The repayment instalments were geared to the
corporate budget.
With that, the acquisition financing in an original amount of EUR 15.5
million provided by the Dresdner Bank in February 2006 as part of
AC-Service AGs takeover of All for One Systemhaus GmbH Midmarket
Solutions, which as at 31 December 2007 was valued at EUR 11 million after
having made regular repayments, is completely repaid.
This newly structured corporate financing will ensure that the investments
in new data centers and the further integration of the corporate segments
can be made, which in turn form the basis for further growth and increased
profitability.
