Grupo SURA moves forward with its debt management strategy with two credit operations for COP 1.8 trillion

  • These two transactions - with Banco de Bogotá and BBVA Colombia- do not represent any increase in the Company's current level of indebtedness.
  • Grupo SURA shall focus these resources on replacing its current indebtedness, but with better cost, currency and maturity conditions.
  • This debt management approach shall allow the organization to advance its strategy by gaining increasing financial flexibility. 

Grupo SURA announces the progress made with its debt management and reprofiling strategy, this aimed at optimizing the currency, rate and maturity conditions of its current financial obligations.  This strategy does not imply any increase in the company's current level of indebtedness, since these resources will be focused on replacing part of its current liabilities, but with better conditions.

This strategy consists of two operations with local banks. The first is a committed credit line with BBVA Colombia in the amount of COP 1 trillion. These resources shall be used, for the most part, for paying Grupo SURA's international bonds maturing in 2026.

Similarly, Grupo SURA disbursed a loan for COP 800 billion with Banco de Bogotá. The purpose of this facility is to make a partial prepayment of the loan taken out under the Club Deal facility in March 2024.

With these operations, the company shall improve its debt profile, since it provides the organization with greater financial flexibility and allows it to cover Grupo SURA's financial commitments for the years 2025 and 2026.

Both credit operations shall  mature within a period of five years starting on the date of their respective disbursements. The terms of these borrowings are the usual ones for this type of corporate financing operation.
