Furthermore, Oerlikon has received approval from its lending banks to increase the company‘s ability to provide bank guarantees to customers in order to allow the Group to sustain Oerlikon‘s growth mo- mentum. As part of Oerlikon‘s efforts to further grow the business, the Group gained approval to amend its Syndicated Credit Facility Agreement with its lending banks. As a result of the strong order backlog in the Group‘s Textile Segment, which often results in longer lead times, Oerlikon‘s bank guarantee requirements on orders may exceed its current bank guarantee facilities. With this amendment, Oerlikon can raise the Group‘s bank guarantee facilities on customers‘ advance payments for orders. In addition, this approval allows Oerlikon to reduce its debt. The original Syndicated Credit Facility Agreement was announced in April 2010. http://www.oerlikon.com
