Fitch assigns Financiere Mendel loan BB-

Fitch Ratings said it assigned final BB-/RR3 (61%) ratings to Financiere Mendel SAS’ €2.3 billion term loan. The expected ratings were assigned on Oct. 17.

The agency also affirmed the issuer’s parent Financiere Top Mendel SAS' long-term issuer default rating at B+. The company also owns Ceva Sante Animal SA.

The proceeds were used in refinancing outstanding loans and extended maturities to 2030. As part of the deal, the group upstreamed €200 million of cash for a shareholder distribution with added transaction fees of around €40 million.

Fitch said it expects annual interest expense of €190 million-€210 million over 2024-2026 up from €180 million before the refinancing.

The outlook is stable.
