Credit matters

Organization

Industrivärden's financing and management of financial risks are conducted in accordance with guidelines set by the Board of Directors. Industrivärden's finance function works primarily with financing and investment of surplus liquidity.

Financing

Industrivärden's financing is arranged through both short- and longterm borrowing. The credit facilities give Industrivärden the ability to act on attractive investment opportunities at short notice. No part of the financing is conditional upon any covenants.

Convertible loans

In January 2010 Industrivärden issued a fiveyear convertible loan worth EUR 500 M, which was oversubscribed. The aim was to take advantage of strong market conditions and good credit quality to obtain attractive financing with the opportunity to issue new equity. The convertible loan issue has increased Industrivärden’s financial flexibility and preparedness to act on attractive investment opportunities. 

In January 2011 Industrivärden issued a sixyear convertible loan worth EUR 550 M in order to further increase its financial flexibility.

Industrivärden has two outstanding convertible loans. The complete terms are accesseble below. Further information can be found at Corporate Governance/Annual General Meeting/2010 Extra and 2011 Extra.
