Bank overdrafts and other uncommitted bank loans:
The Group has a variety of overdraft facilities in Sterling, Euro and other European currencies, all of which are repayable on demand. These facilities are domiciled
in various countries and interest is charged at standard overdraft rates in the countries concerned. Some of the Group’s major banks make uncommitted facilities
available to assist with short-term liquidity management. These facilities bear interest based on the appropriate local interest rates. These facilities are repayable
on demand.
Loan notes:
The Group has issued a number of interest-bearing loan notes. These loan notes are repayable on demand and expire between 2012 and 2015. Additional loan
notes of £2.4m were issued during the period and £6.6m were redeemed or cancelled.
£450m Revolving Credit Facility (RCF):
The £300m RCF, which was signed in September 2004, was increased to £450m during the period by inviting the existing members of the banking syndicate to
subscribe for additional commitments. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged, including the covenant package, and the facility remains repayable in full
in September 2009. The interest rate payable in respect of drawings under this facility is at a margin over LIBOR for the relevant currency and for the appropriate
period. The actual margin applicable to any drawing depends on the ratio of debt to EBITDA calculated in respect of the most recent accounting period.
£120m and £225m term loans:
A new five-year £225m term loan was signed in February 2006, part of the proceeds of which was used to repay and cancel the £120m term loan originally
signed in 2003. The interest rate is calculated in a similar manner to the £450m RCF. The loan is repayable in full in February 2011. The term loan is drawn in
Euro at 1 April 2006 and its value at that date of £230.1m reflects the exchange rate at the period end.
£50m term loan:
A new five-year bi-lateral £50m term loan was signed in December 2005, the proceeds of which were used in relation to the Onetel acquisition. The interest rate
is calculated in a similar manner to the £450m RCF. The loan is repayable in full in December 2010.
