Dentons advises Grupo Amavir on €166m sustainable financing deal

Dentons has advised Grupo Amavir on its €166 million refinancing from a syndicate of banks – including CaixaBank (agent), Banco Sabadell, Banco Santander and Targobank – with Groupe Maisons de Famille as guarantor

The transaction involved the amendment and extension of a previous financing agreement and guarantee signed in 2018, and introduced new elements of sustainable financing, in which Grupo Amavir received favorable terms dependent on meeting its commitments with regard to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
