Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust PLC - London and Johannesburg-listed property investor - Secures a five-year debt refinancing against its five-asset Dutch industrial portfolio. The refinancing is based on a margin of 2.0%, which is 0.15% below the existing margin. Says this reflects the competitive terms offered by four different banks. Elects to extend the facility by a further €4.5 million to €13.8 million. The new facility has been fixed at 5.3% being the five-year euro swap rate plus 2.0% margin.

Following this transaction, the company’s third party debt totals €85.5 million across seven loan facilities. ‘Following on from the successful German office refinancing concluded at the end of 2022, the terms of this new facility are a strong endorsement of our strategy and testament to the relationships we have with existing financing partners as well as our reputation in the market,’ fund manager Jeff O’Dwyer says.
