The bridge loan is for a year with six-month extension option. Ferrari intends to refinance the bridge loan before maturity with longer term debt, including through capital markets or other financing transactions.
The term loan and the revolving facility are each for five years.
“The facility is limited in recourse to Ferrari and any Ferrari subsidiaries which borrow under the facility, and is without recourse to any other part of the FCA group,” Ferrari said in a statement.
“This transaction, which confirms key relationship banks’ strong support for Ferrari, represents a further step towards the separation of Ferrari from the FCA Group.”
