Capita Agrees £30m Financing Facilities With Shawbrook Bank

Capita has agreed £30m in new financing facilities with Shawbrook Bank Limited, split between a revolving credit facility and a term loan, to refinance existing debt and support general corporate purposes.

Capita (LON: CPI), the AI-enabled business services group, said on Friday that it had entered into £30m of new financing facilities with Shawbrook Bank Limited. The facilities comprise a £15m revolving credit facility (RCF) and a £15m term loan, both agreed for a three-year term maturing in September 2029. Capita confirmed the news in a single statement released on Friday, headlined.

Capita shares stood at 227p in early London trade on Friday, up 0.44% from Thursday’s close of 226p.

A revolving credit facility lets a borrower draw, repay and redraw funds up to an agreed limit as needed, while a term loan is a fixed amount lent for a set period and typically repaid on a set schedule. Both of the two new facilities were confirmed together in the same announcement, rather than being agreed or disclosed separately.

The £15m RCF sits on substantially the same terms as Capita’s existing £325m RCF, including the interest rate charged on it. The £15m term loan carries a modestly higher rate than that RCF does. Both new facilities carry a three-year term and mature in September 2029.

Capita said proceeds from both new facilities will be used for general corporate purposes and to refinance existing debt. Shawbrook Bank Limited, a UK specialist bank, is now a lender to Capita under the two new facilities.

Capita describes itself as an AI-enabled business services partner, working across public and private sector organisations, including central and local government bodies and regulated industries. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker CPI. The £30m in new facilities is small when set against the existing £325m RCF facility Capita already has in place.

The comparison of loan terms is limited to the interest rate charged, as stated in Capita’s announcement; the statement did not disclose further detail on fees or covenants attached to either new facility.
