Pihlajalinna Plc has signed an unsecured EUR 170 million sustainability-linked loan facilities agreement with two of its partner banks. The agreement includes a EUR 110 million term loan for refinancing the Group's existing indebtedness, and a revolving credit facility of EUR 60 million for general corporate purposes. The financing agreement is for three years and includes two option years.

The financing arrangement, which replaces the EUR 200 million loan agreement signed in March 2022, includes the same customary covenants as previous financing arrangement. The loan margin is connected also to Pihlajalinna's main sustainability targets: patient satisfaction, access to surgical treatment and employee satisfaction. The mandated lead arrangers of the syndicated facilities agreement are OP Corporate Bank and Danske Bank.

OP Corporate Bank acted as the Coordinator, Sustainability Coordinator and Agent. Nordhaven Corporate Finance acted as financial advisor for Pihlajalinna.
