MAASTRICHT, The Netherlands, October 17, 2013

Q-Park refinanced a EUR 300 million commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS)

Q-Park, a private operator of parking facilities in Europe, refinanced a EUR 300 million commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS) transaction which was placed in the capital markets in 2007. Funding for the refinancing was provided by Pricoa Mortgage Capital Company and various funds managed by Insight Investment Management. Rabobank acted as sole bookrunner and mandated lead arranger.

Pricoa Mortgage Capital Company provided EUR 240 million which was secured by more than a dozen parking facilities located in the Netherlands. Various funds managed by Insight Investment have provided GBP 35 million, secured by multiple parking facilities located in Great Britain. Furthermore Q-Park redeemed EUR 20 million. This redemption together with the diversified funding sources underscores Q-Park's ability to tap into debt capital markets and secure funds beyond its group of relationship banks.

Ward Vleugels, Chairman of the board at Q-Park NV, comments: "We are very proud to have refinanced the EUR 300 million CMBS, build up a relationship with Pricoa Mortgage Capital Company and continuing our relationship with Insight Investment Management, who was already a subscriber under the CMBS placed in 2007. This transaction implicitly confirms our leadership on quality in parking."
