RNS Number : 5868Q Headlam Group PLC 27 January 2026
27 January 2026
Headlam Group plc
('Headlam', the 'Company', the 'Group')
Debt refinancing secured
Headlam (LSE: HEAD), the UK's leading floor coverings distributor, is pleased
to announce an asset-based lending facility ("ABL") replacing our existing
revolving credit facility ("RCF") and uncommitted overdraft.
The committed ABL, secured against certain Group assets, has a three year
tenure (to January 2029) with the option to extend for up to two more. The
facility of up to £85m flexes depending on the Group's asset base, with the
intention being that it provides headroom and liquidity as the business needs
evolve. The facility is provided by Barclays Bank plc and Wells Fargo Capital
Finance (UK) Limited.
Based on current interest rates it is expected that the Group will pay a
similar rate of interest on the new facility, with similar covenants applying.
The RCF was due to expire in October 2027.
Commenting, Stephen Bird, Interim Executive Chairman, said:
"We are pleased to have secured new financing, for up to five years, and
deliver another important milestone in our transformation plan. We will
provide additional information on our progress and future plans at our full
year results in March."
