Atea ASA has entered into a new loan agreement for EUR 50,000,000 with the European Investment Bank. Atea will draw the loan in a single tranche during the coming month. The loan is unsecured and must be repaid within a term of six years. The final rate of interest will be determined on the disbursement date.
The European Investment Bank is the world’s largest multilateral lender and is owned by the European Union Member States. The EIB supports projects that promote the priorities and objectives of the European Union. These objectives include Climate and Environmental Sustainability and Innovation, Digital and Human Capital.
This is the second loan Atea has received from the European Investment Bank. The first loan was entered in May 2018 and will mature in May 2023. Proceeds of the new loan will be used to finance expansion and innovation within Atea’s cloud computing offering, enhancements to the company's IT platforms, and investments in Atea’s logistics center and IT recycling facility.
“We are very grateful that the EIB has chosen to support our expansion programs and are committed to work toward the EU’s goals with regard to data autonomy, data sovereignty and the environment,” commented Robert Giori, Chief Financial Officer.
