INVESTMENT GRADE RATING ASSIGNED TO TRITAX EUROBOX BY FITCH
RATING LIMITED
Tritax EuroBox plc (EuroBox or the Company), which invests in a
high-quality portfolio of very large, prime logistics real estate
assets strategically located across continental Europe, announces
that Fitch Ratings Limited (Fitch) has assigned a BBB- long-term
corporate credit rating to the Company, EuroBox's first Investment
Grade credit rating.
As a result, the ratings condition in the existing revolving
facility agreement is satisfied, which will result in a step down
in the cost of this debt of approximately 30 basis points
(depending on the prevailing Loan to Value ratio). In addition to
the immediate strengthening of the Company's earnings per share due
to the reduction in financing costs, the Investment Grade credit
rating will allow the Company access to the Debt Capital Markets in
line with its near-term ambition.
Mehdi Bourassi, Finance Director of Tritax EuroBox,
commented:
"The Company's recent successful fundraise allows us to
capitalise further on the significant opportunities that exist in
the continental European logistics real estate market. Obtaining an
Investment Grade credit rating marks a significant milestone in the
evolution of the Company, demonstrating our maturity and stability.
It will enable access to a wider pool of financing strategies,
leading to even greater resilience and a lower cost of debt.
We look forward to updating investors on the deployment of the
recently raised capital as we further strengthen and diversify our
portfolio in line with our long-term strategy."
