Transaction highlights
NSI successfully completed an amendment and extension of its term loan facility. The facility’s maturity has been extended by four years, to December 2026. Following the transaction, NSI’s average debt maturity increased from 4.2 years per Q3 2022 to 4.7 years
The new agreement includes a sustainability-linked mechanism through which the interest margin will be adjusted, based on NSI’s performance on four performance indicators: an energy intensity reduction target, the percentage of the portfolio that is aligned with the EU Taxonomy of sustainable investments, the average BREEAM score of the portfolio, and the company’s GRESB rating
Alianne de Jong (CFO at NSI): “The inclusion of the sustainability-linked mechanism aligns with NSI’s conviction that a more sustainable portfolio is vital to the business’ long-term financial viability and performance.”
Guus de Haan (Head of Debt Advisory at Van Lanschot Kempen): “We congratulate NSI with the successful completion of this sustainability linked financing. Despite volatile lending markets, NSI was able to benefit from its strong balance sheet, high quality portfolio and the longstanding relationship with its funding partners.”
