Der Kurs entwickelte sich ähnlich wie gestern: Bis etwa Mittag im Gleichschritt mit Rheinmetall, dann haben die Käufer gefehlt. So ist das eben! Mal sehen, wie das "Rennen" um die Plätze im SDAX ausgeht, augenscheinlich versuchen noch einige Player die Adler Group nach den Zahlen abzustrafen und Stand jetzt wäre sie meinen Überschlagsrechnungen zufolge aus dem SDAX draußen. Aber ich rechne HENSOLDT eigentlich dennoch keine großen Chancen auf einen Verbleib aus. Spätestens Freitag wissen wir mehr.
Zwei interessante Nachrichten: Ich habe schon seit längerem versucht Infos zu Shortpositionen zu HENSOLDT zu bekommen, da der Bundesanzeiger ja nur Netto-Leerverkaufspositionen veröffentlicht und die Schwellen zur Offenlegung angesichts HENSOLDT's geringem Streubesitzanteil viel zu großzügig ausfallen. Auf https://shortsqueeze.com/ findet man unter dem Ticker HNSDF immerhin eine HENSOLDT-Short-Position, aber die ist superklein und sieht eher aus wie ein Hedge. Wenn jemand anderes auch Short-Positionen findet, würde ich gern dazulernen.
Außerdem fand ich dies spannend: https://www.newsita.eu/news/2021/11/30/...o-su-green-e-sostenibilita/ (Englische Deepl-Übersetzung folge am Ende)
Zusammenfassung: Wenn ich den Text richtig verstehe, macht Leonardo eine dicke neue Kreditlinie auf, u. a. um zwei ältere abzulösen. Leonardo streitet ab, dass dies mit dem Kauf der HENSOLDT-Anteile zu tun hat. Irgendwas hat das wohl auch mit den ESG-Kriterien zu tun, wozu mir aber gerade die Phantasie fehlt. Das alles muss überhaupt nichts bedeuten, aber möglicherweise ist es ein Hinweis auf eine anstrengende Finanzlage bei Leonardo und Schwierigkeiten einen Kauf der 15% der bei KKR verbleibenden HENOLDT-Anteile (also nach dem Kauf der 25,1%) zu stemmen, was mir persönlich sehr gefallen würde. Ich wünsche mir nicht, dass Leonardo 40 % der HENSOLDT-Anteile hält. Auch dass sie mit Oto Melara eine profitable Sparte verkaufen müssen könnte ein Hinweis darauf sein.
Intesa Sanpaolo, Unicredit and more. Here are the banks that finance Leonardo on green and sustainability
eonardo has signed a new revolving credit line, the first Esg-linked, of 2.4 billion with a syndicate of international and national banks such as Intesa Sanpaolo, Unicredit and others.
Also the aerospace and defense giant of Piazza Monte Grappa bets on sustainable finance.
Leonardo has signed a new revolving credit line, the first linked to ESG (environmental, social and governance) objectives, with a syndicate of 26 international and national banks.
The Esg-linked Revolving Credit Facility ("Esg-Rcf") amounts to 2.4 billion euros. It consists of a 5-year tranche of 1.8 billion euros and a 3-year tranche of 600 million euros.
The new line of credit replaces the two existing Revolving Credit Facilities, reducing the overall cost of funding available for the Group's financial needs and extending the duration to 2026, a note from the former Finmccanica explained last week.
"The subscription of the Esg-linked credit line confirms our commitment to sustainability, an integral part of Leonardo's Industrial Plan and incentive system, and is a further step forward in the Group's disciplined financial strategy," commented Leonardo's CEO Alessandro Profumo.
The new RCF has been underwritten by 26 banks, resulting in an oversubscription with total commitments of over 4.4 billion euros. This is 185% of the amount requested, Profumo pointed out to Il Sole 24 Ore.
"Leonardo has not disclosed the interest rates it will pay. They will not be fixed. "We have obtained very good rates that will be lowered when we reach objectives," Profumo" told Il Sole 24 Ore. "There is a bonus-malus system. If we reach the Esg objectives the spread is reduced and the rates are lowered, if we don't reach them they are raised. We have a double benefit from this operation, the smaller size of the credit line and the lower rates. This will allow us to reduce borrowing costs and maintain a significant source of liquidity."
In line with the sustainability strategy, at the basis of the Business Plan, and with Leonardo's incentive system, the credit line is linked for the first time to specific Esg indicators, including the reduction of CO2 emissions through eco-efficiency of industrial processes and the promotion of female employment with degrees in STEM disciplines.
The aforementioned ESG parameters also contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which underpin around 50% of the Group's investments.
Achievement of the objectives linked to the ESG indicators will also activate a mechanism for adjusting the margin applied to the line of credit.
"Favorable market conditions led us to enter into this credit facility in order to further reduce borrowing costs and maintain a significant source of liquidity, which is also in line with the expectations of the financial market and credit rating agencies. Tying the RCF margin to the achievement of the ESG objectives reflects our confidence in the Group's sustainable strategy and is part of Leonardo's path towards the integration of economic-financial data and ESG objectives" added Profumo.

Finally, Il Sole 24 Ore "asked Profumo whether the line of credit is also linked to the planned outlay (606 million) for the purchase of 25.1% of Germany's Hensoldt, announced on April 24, and how far along the authorization process is. "It is absolutely not related to the acquisition of Hensoldt. We are doing all the procedures. We have received some of the authorizations, we are in the process of passing the others.""
