Grifols (GRFS) is in discussions with banks to extend a $1 billion revolving credit facility and refinance 370 million euros ($390.3 million) in bonds due 2025, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing an interview with Chief Executive Officer Nacho Abia.
"Several banks have already confirmed interest in refinancing, even expanding the facility," Abia told Bloomberg. The chief executive officer said Grifols can repay the bond using cash flow but does not want to be "too tight."
Bloomberg said the talks come as Grifols looks to calm investors over its ability to meet obligations after Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) did not proceed with a plan to acquire the company.
Shares of Grifols were down more than 13% in recent trading.
