BAUER Aktiengesellschaft: BAUER Group implements new financing concept

23.04.2014 / 11:10

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Schrobenhausen - In mid-April the BAUER Group successfully implemented a
new long-term financing concept, which was based on a three-year syndicated
loan providing a EUR 450 million credit facility concluded with the
company's main bankers led by the two coordinating institutions Deutsche Bank> Bank AG and UniCredit Bank AG. The syndicated loan replaces most of the
company's existing short-term financing arrangements.

"The syndicated loan improves our financing structure, providing financial
stability to the business and so safeguarding our long-term growth
opportunities," comments Prof. Thomas Bauer, Chairman of the Management
Board of BAUER Aktiengesellschaft.


About Bauer

Bauer is a provider of services, machinery and ancillary products in the
earth-working and groundwater fields. The Group markets its products and
services all over the world. Its global spread allows it to remain largely
unaffected by fluctuating business cycles.

Its business is divided into three segments: Construction, Equipment and
Resources. The Construction segment carries out specialist foundation
engineering work for complex excavation pits and foundations on major
infrastructure and building projects all over the world, installing cut-off

related project development services. Bauer's Equipment segment, a world
market leader, offers a comprehensive range of construction machinery,
equipment and tools for the specialist foundation engineering sector as
well as for other underground drilling operations, such as for mines, water
wells, geothermal energy sources, and oil and gas extraction. The Resources
segment bundles the Group's activities in the fields of water, energy,
mineral resources and environmental technology.

Bauer profits greatly from the collaboration between its three separate
segments, enabling the Group to position itself as an innovative, highly
specialized provider of complete solutions and services for demanding
projects on the specialist foundation engineering and related markets.

Founded in 1790, Bauer today generates around three quarters of its total
revenues outside of Germany. Employing some 10,300 people, the Group's
total revenues in 2013 were approximately EUR 1.5 billion (previous year:
EUR 1.44 billion). BAUER Aktiengesellschaft has been listed on the official
