CIC Corporate & Institutional Banking is pleased to support Akiem, a leading player in locomotive leasing in Europe, in the refinancing of its senior debt labeled “green”.
The refinancing is structured through a combination of :
- bank loans with 7-year and 10-year maturities, along with a €700m Capex facility to support its growth strategy.
- private placements issued to investors in Europe and the United States, with maturities of 15 and 20 years.
CIC has been a key banking group accompanying Akiem over the past years in its rapid expansion both on the freight and the passenger segments. This transaction is fully in line with the Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale Group’s strategy to decarbonize and support the development of the rail sector.
