Stabilus receives €150 million financial advice from our legal team
White & Case LLP, a global law firm, has advised Stabilus SE and its subsidiaries (Stabilus Group) on a new long-term €150 million credit facility financing. The purpose of this financing is to refinance certain promissory notes (Schuldschein loans) due in 2026 and to further strengthen Stabilus Group’s overall financing structure and operational flexibility.
The €150 million facility will help stabilize liquidity and financial positioning ahead of the notes' maturity and supports Stabilus's strategic debt management. White & Case’s Frankfurt team led by partners Vanessa Schürmann and Markus Fischer handled the transaction.
The team also included partners Gernot Wagner, Sebastian Schrag, and Andreas Lischka, associates Angela Fleck and Lina Fiedler, and portfolio lawyer Laura Marie Steyer. The service areas covered by the team include Debt Finance, Capital Markets, and Western Europe, with a focus on Germany.
In addition to the new €150 million facility, an amendment was made to the Group's existing long-term €450 million credit facilities to enhance its operational flexibility. This move aims to provide Stabilus Group with greater financial agility in navigating market uncertainties.
This financing aligns with Stabilus’s proactive approach to maintaining financial discipline and supporting long-term growth amid market uncertainties. Notably, White & Case advised on a €290 million issue of certain promissory notes (Schuldschein loans) in 2024 and a €250 million acquisition-related bridge financing in 2023.
Markus Fischer, a partner specializing in Debt Finance and Capital Markets, led the team in Frankfurt. Gernot Wagner, a partner specializing in Capital Markets, Financial Institutions, Debt Finance, Real Estate, and Private Capital, and Sebastian Schrag, a partner specializing in Debt Finance, Bank Lending, Borrower Finance, and Private Capital, also contributed to the success of the transaction.
