August Debouzy advised SergeFerrari Group, one of the world’s leading suppliers of innovative flexible composite materials listed on Euronext Paris, on the signing of its new sustainability-linked syndicated loan (SLL) indexed to extra-financial indicators, for an amount of €105 million.
Signed on 10 December 2025, the syndicated loan is intended to refinance the Group’s previous syndicated loan and euro private placement arranged in 2020. It includes three ESG KPIs: the frequency rate of workplace accidents, Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and Scope 3 emissions. Each indicator is associated with a set of annual targets, and the margin grid is adjusted annually based on the achievement of one or more of these KPIs, in addition to a traditional margin grid linked to the net leverage ratio.
SergeFerrari Group develops and manufactures innovative and eco-responsible high-performance flexible composite materials for tensile architecture, modular structures, solar protection and furniture/marine applications. The Group operates industrial sites in France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Asia, and is present in more than 80 countries through its subsidiaries, representative offices and distributor network.
As of end-2024, SergeFerrari Group reported consolidated revenue of €323.6 million, of which more than 80% was generated outside France.
The syndicated loan was arranged with several banks based in the region, as well as an institutional investor managing private debt funds. Crédit Lyonnais (LCL) acted as Documentation Agent and Credit & Security Agent, while Caisse d’Epargne Rhône Alpes (CERA) acted as ESG Coordinator and Banque Populaire Auvergne Rhône Alpes (BPAURA) acted as ESG Co-Coordinator.
SergeFerrari Group was advised by Jennifer Hinge (partner) and Pauline Desplas (senior associate) on financing aspects.
Redbridge Debt & Treasury Advisory acted as financial advisor to SergeFerrari Group. DLA Piper France LLP acted as legal counsel to the lenders.
