and draw down of new long-term credit facilities

On 30 January 2025, Saga plc (Saga or the Group), the UK's specialist in products and services for people over 50, announced that it had secured new credit facilities to refinance the Group's corporate debt in full (the New Facilities), with closing of the New Facilities subject to customary conditions.

On the same date, Saga announced the mandatory redemption of the outstanding Notes, following the conclusion of the Tender Offer. Both settlements were subject to the receipt of funds from the New Facilities or waiver of this requirement.

Following receipt of funds under the New Facilities, Saga now announces that the conditions to closing of the New Facilities have been met, and accordingly:

  • the Notes have been redeemed in full and shall be cancelled and de-listed accordingly;
  • the £75.0m drawings under the £85.0m loan facility provided by Roger De Haan, maturing April 2026, have been repaid and, as such, the facility has been cancelled in full; and
