Debt
No capital increase since at least 1999

Since 1999, Cementir has not increased its capital/number of shares. Indeed, it uses its operating/free cash flow or raises debt for its industrial investments and M&A activities.

In the foreseeable future, the risk of a dilutive capital increase for per share metrics is low. Furthermore, no convertible bonds have been issued by the company, which excludes the risk of any dilution.

Maturity and nature of the debt

The debt is almost entirely composed by bank borrowings. The company does not disclose a precise maturity table, but the average maturity is clearly below five years.

Covenants

The financial covenants to be complied with are the net debt/EBITDA ratio and the EBITDA/net financial expenses ratio, the trigger points of which are undisclosed by the company.
