CMS advises Railpool on new financing structure for planned growth

17/05/2022

Hamburg – Railpool, one of Europe’s leading rail vehicle leasing companies, extended its existing financing arrangements in April 2022 and secured further funding for the company’s planned growth.

The new financing structure, with a total volume of around EUR 1.07 billion, consists in equal parts of the refinancing of existing loans through European private placements with various institutional investors, with maturities of 12 and 20 years, and a new credit line provided by banks to facilitate further growth.

An international CMS team headed by Dr Marc Riede and Dr Julia Runge provided Railpool with legal advice on the transaction. The Railpool Group has also previously relied on the expertise of CMS. In 2018, CMS advised Railpool on establishing the financing platform that forms the basis for this transaction, and has regularly provided the group with support around financing issues since then.
