Akiem has completed a €1.52bn green senior debt refinancing, announced on 8 April 2026 in Saint-Ouen.
The financing package includes 7- and 10-year bank term loans alongside private placements with European and US investors, featuring maturities of 15 and 20 years. Following the transaction, all of Akiem’s debt is now green-labelled. The refinancing also increases the company’s CAPEX facility to €700m to support fleet expansion.
Akiem expanded its banking group to 14 European banks and added four private placement investors. The company stated that the refinancing extends and diversifies its debt maturity profile while strengthening its balance sheet.
Crédit Agricole CIB acted as sole financial and rating advisor and joint private placement agent. ING served as green advisor, joint private placement agent and hedge coordinator. Legal counsel was provided by Linklaters Paris for Akiem and Clifford Chance (Paris) LLP for the lenders.
The refinancing was led by Akiem’s Group Finance team under the supervision of Chief Financial Officer Renato De Lussu, with Stefan Gout, Head of New Debt Issuances, and Clémence Dubois, Head of Legal and Company Secretary.
