On December 21, 2018 Eesti Energia AS’s fully owned subsidiary Enefit Green AS has signed term loan contracts in total amount of 260 million EUR. The contracts were signed on bilateral basis with SEB (200 million EUR) and Swedbank (60 million EUR). The term of the unsecured loans is 5 years, with 7 years repayment schedule. The purpose of the term loans is to refinance the existing debt of Nelja Energia, which was assumed as a result of the recent acquisition, and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the interim relief applied on a temporary basis with regards to the Nelja Energia deal, Eesti Energia explains that Enefit Green completed the acquisition of Nelja Energia on 6th November 2018 by acquiring 100% of the shares of Nelja Energia after obtaining merger clearance from the Estonian Competition Authority. Consequently, the merger of Enefit Green and Nelja Energia was completed before the submission of the complaint by Skinest, and the implementation of the interim relief by the court on the basis thereof.
