Hogan Lovells advised TDF Infrastructure SAS, an infrastructure operator, on the signing of a syndicated €300 Million acquisition and capex facility.
As part of its organic growth strategy, the Group is undergoing an ambitious program to roll out telecom infrastructure in France and this facility will be primarily directed to fund this capex plan. In addition, the loan will be used to finance potential M&A activity.
The new facility expires in March 2024 with extension options until March 2026 and was jointly arranged by BNP Paribas and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank. The syndicate of lending banks comprises BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, La Banque Postale, Mediobanca, MUFG Bank Ltd, Bank of America and Caisse d’Epargne et de Prévoyance Ile de-France.
The Hogan Lovells team was led by Alexander Premont (partner) and included Luc Bontoux (senior associate), Tam Tran (associate) on the financing aspects.
