Bank group prematurely extends WKN loan contract

The bank consortium led by Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft and the Deutsche Bank AG as joint mandated lead arranger and bookrunner now provide the credit line originally from the year 2011 until 30 June 2016.
 
"The premature extension of the syndicated credit line for this amount confirms the confidence of our banks in WKN and their new majority shareholder PNE WIND AG", CFO Michael Ostwald comments on the conclusion of the contract. In July 2013, the majority shares of WKN were transferred to PNE WIND AG with its company headquarters in Cuxhaven. With this WKN AG continues to operate as an independent company.
