Societe de la Tour Eiffel completes ambitious refinancing program Société de la Tour Eiffel announces the early refinancing of its principal credit line. A new, 5-year, mortgage backed, loan of € 287m has been granted by a banking consortium led by pbb Deutsche Pfandbriefbank (« pbb ») including national banks, Crédit Foncier de France, Société Générale and Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank . The overall cost equates to about 3.9% p.a. taking into account the incidence of new hedging instruments. This operation marks the satisfactory conclusion of an ambitious objective set at the year's outset of restructuring and extending of the company's financing in concert with leading financial institutions. In addition to the reimbursement of the existing pbb facility (€ 318m as at 30 June 2012), the company already completed in June and July two complimentary mortgage financings of € 117m and € 8m for respectively 7 and 10/15 years durations.
