ITV plc SIGNS NEW SUSTAINABILITY-LINKED £500M REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
ITV plc ("ITV") has agreed a new syndicated £500m Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") with Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse International, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., National Westminster Bank PLC and Wells Fargo Bank N.A. The terms of the new RCF run until January 2027 replacing the existing facility, which was due to mature in 2023.
The new RCF is linked to the delivery of ITV's science-based carbon emissions targets. Under the terms, ITV will benefit from a lower interest rate if it delivers emissions reductions in line with its net zero roadmap, which will be assessed on an annual basis and verified by independent external review. The metrics include scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and will therefore impact right across the ITV supply chain.
Chris Kennedy, COO & CFO, said: "The inclusion of ESG targets within this important financing demonstrates ITV's further commitment to achieve net zero targets by 2030."
