EDF announces early repayment of bank loans totalling
€7.4 billion
EDF (BBB positive S&P / Baa1 stable Moody's / BBB+ stable Fitch) announces the early repayment of bank loans with maturities of 3 to 5 years for a total amount equivalent to €7.4 billion, by early January 2026. The early repayment of each loan will be made on the interest payment date and will therefore not be subject to any financial penalty.
Following the success of this year's bond issues and strong operating performance, which has resulted in a continued high level of net liquidity, this transaction will enable EDF to reduce its financial debt costs.
