Aston Martin secures £550 million debt financing
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc secured a £550 million debt financing package led by funds managed by HPS Investment Partners, comprising a £450 million senior secured term loan and a £100 million delayed draw term loan at 6.75% over SONIA, maturing in July 2031. Proceeds were used to repay the fully drawn £170 million super senior revolving credit facility and £20 million drawn under the Yew Tree Consortium facility, with the remainder for general corporate purposes, and the facilities are secured against assets in a newly incorporated subsidiary. The refinancing lifts pro forma liquidity to about £340 million as of June 30 and preserves capacity to incur an additional £100 million of junior debt. CFO Doug Lafferty described the move as strengthening liquidity, enhancing resilience and flexibility to pursue product plans and margin growth. The company plans to report its first-half 2026 results on July 29, and market activity around the news reflected modest stock movement. Note that some reports highlight that HPS Investment Partners is associated with BlackRock through ownership of the managing firm.
