Note 26 Capital management Fiven is managing its financing and liquidity position to support Fiven’s growth strategy. Furthermore, the capital management objectives also include reduction of liquidity risk and to ensure that the company can meet its financial obligations at all times and to optimize the capital structure to reduce cost of capital. During 2021, Fiven refinanced its operations through a new bond of 70 mEUR expiring in June 2024. Together with a shareholder loan of 22.7 mEUR expiring after the bond, Fiven has now secured long term financing for the coming years. Fiven has maintained a strong focus on liquidity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, monitoring risks and uncertainty in this regard about market impact and subsequently about the company’s ability to meet its financial commitments. The results demonstrate that Fiven has been able to manage the situation well through a healthy cash position and a reduction of net-interest bearing debt. Looking forward and to support the company’s growth strategy, it is important to optimize the availability of the external financial sources. The new bond structure allows a total maximum nominal amount of 125 mEUR. In August 2021 the new Fiven bond was listed on NASDAQ in Stockholm, and the bond is also traded at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Bondholders under the initial bonds are senior ranked and there will be no dividend paid to Fiven shareholders or servicing of any loan, including shareholder loan, prior to the final maturity date of the initial bond. The bond agreement includes covenants prescribing a maximum net interest bearing debt to EBITDA ratio should not exceed 4.75 (first year), 4.5 (second year) and 4.25 (third year). The descriptions of elements being included and excluded from the traditional EBITDA and net interest-bearing debt for covenant calculation is described in the bond agreement. The financial flexibility is also maintained through the existing factoring facility and an export credit facilities subject to regulations described in the Bond agreement.
