SATO gets unsecured seven-year loan of €100 million from OP Corporate Bank Plc

SATO Corporation, Press Release, 29th May 2017 at 2:00 pm

SATO Corporation and OP Corporate Bank plc have agreed on an unsecured bilateral loan of €100 million. The agreement on the exceptionally long seven-year loan was signed in Helsinki on 29 May 2017.

- This bank loan is consistent with main terms of unsecured bonds issued by us and therefore in line with the direction chosen by us, says SATO President and CEO Saku Sipola . - OP has understood our strategic aim very well, and this financing agreement is part of a continuous process where loan agreements have previously been made with Aktia Bank Plc and the European Investment Bank (EIB).

The financing agreement strengthens measures taken by SATO to adjust its financing structure towards increased use of unsecured debt. SATO's unencumbered assets ratio was 56.3% at the end of Q1 2017.

SATO has consistently diversified its financing structure and improved its liquidity position. An important step in this was the €400 million unsecured syndicated credit facility agreement signed in June 2016 with several commercial banks.

The solidity of SATO's financing structure has also been boosted further by unsecured bond loans and the unsecured loan of €150 million obtained in late 2016 from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
