Linklaters has been instructed by Tendam on a syndicated loan guaranteed by the ICO (Spain’s State Finance Agency) for €117.5 million
Linklaters has advised Europe’s leading fashion retailers Tendam on a syndicated loan guaranteed by the ICO for €117.5 million (which can be increased up to €130 million) and a bilateral loan guaranteed by the ICO for €10 million. Financing has been provided by Banco Santander, the Official Credit Institute (ICO), BBVA, CaixaBank, Société Générale, Bankia, Banco Sabadell and Crédit Agricole.
It is the first ICO-backed syndicated loan for all the banks (except for Santander) and the first in which they have managed to get the ICO to also be a lender.
Tendam operates in the specialised chain store segment through the Cortefiel, Pedro del Hierro, Springfield, Women’secret and Fifty brands.
