RNS Number : 9861I Harworth Group PLC 26 November 2025
HARWORTH GROUP PLC
('Harworth' or the 'Group' or the 'Company')
Harworth agrees new £275m RCF with existing lenders at improved terms
Harworth Group plc (LSE: HWG), a leading regeneration and strategic land owner
and developer, announces that it has signed a new £275 million Revolving
Credit Facility ('RCF'). It includes an uncommitted accordion option, which if
exercised would take the RCF to £325 million. The facility has an improved
core margin of 200 basis points over SONIA, with an initial four-year term,
which may be extended to a maximum of five years at Harworth's request,
subject to bank consent. The syndicate comprises Harworth's existing
relationship banks, NatWest, Santander and HSBC, with the option to add
further lenders.
The new facility replaces Harworth's existing £240 million facility and
extends the Group's debt maturity by approximately 2.5 years.
Kitty Patmore, Chief Financial Officer of Harworth, commented: "We have been
able to take advantage of favourable market conditions, and the strong
relationships we have with our core blue-chip banking partners, to refinance
our RCF on improved terms. It extends the duration of our bank facilities to
the end of 2029, reduces our costs and provides increased flexibility to
invest in our pipeline of sites, as we look to optimise our balance sheet. Our
target net loan-to-portfolio value of below 20% at year-end and 25% throughout
the year remains unchanged."
