Metinvest B.V., the parent company of an international vertically integrated group of steel and mining companies (jointly referred to as “Metinvest” or “the Group”), today announces the successful launch of a new accounts receivable securitisation programme for its Italian re-rollers, Metinvest Trametal and Ferriera Valsider. The transaction will allow to finance a pool of accounts receivable up to EUR 50 million. The facility has a maximum tenor of five years and a one-year rolling commitment. It will support sales in the EU and improve the working capital position of Italian re-rollers of the Group.
The transaction has been structured by Banca Akros S.p.A (Gruppo Banco BPM) through an Italian Law 130/99 special purpose vehicle. It involves the issuance of partially paid variable funding senior notes, backed by a portfolio of trade receivables originated by Metinvest Trametal and Ferriera Valsider.

We appreciate this new chapter in business relationship with our long-time partners Banco BPM S.p.A. and Banca Akros S.p.A. This landmark deal is part of Metinvest’s strategy to diversify and strengthen the trade finance portfolio.
