Spinnova announced on Wednesday that it had signed a 1.5 MEUR binding loan agreement to provide bridge financing for the Portuguese yarn spinning company Tearfil. This was not unexpected, as the company had already announced in mid-September that it had signed a letter of intent for the acquisition of Tearfil and the related financing arrangement. We will include Tearfil's bridge financing and the potential acquisition of share capital in our estimates later.
Tearfil is a key development partner for Spinnova and is currently undergoing a restructuring process overseen by a Portuguese court. Based on our assessment, the bridge financing is essential to ensure Tearfil’s restructuring is completed successfully before the planned acquisition. Our assessment indicates that the restructuring plan includes reducing Tearfil's debts. We estimate that the 1.5 MEUR loan is a manageable investment for Spinnova (vs. the company's gross cash of 39 MEUR at the end of H1'26).
