The new bond has a floating coupon of 3 months STIBOR + 8.50% per annum and with more favorable terms than the existing SEK 400 million bonds. An application will be made for the new bond to be listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and Frankfurt Stock Exchange Open Market.

Richard Brown, CEO of GiG stated: “I am pleased to have secured a new bond on better and more flexible terms, that will give a strong position for the business to work from over the coming years towards our financial targets.”
