CITYCON OYJ Stock Exchange Release 18 December 2014 at 17.30 hrs

Citycon Treasury B.V. has today signed a EUR 500 million unsecured committed
multicurrency revolving credit facility agreement with a Nordic bank group. The
loan period is five years and the loan terms include two one-year extension
options that can extend the maturity to seven years subject to bank approval.
The credit facility is guaranteed by Citycon Oyj. "This successfully arranged syndicated credit line facility completes Citycon's
refinancing. Following the issuance of the EUR 350 million 10 year eurobond in
September and the EUR 500 million eurobond issued in June last year,
essentially all our bank loans are now refinanced. As a result, Citycon's
average debt maturity is extended to over 6 years, average cost of debt reduced
to approximately 3.4% p.a. and unutilized lines of credit increased to
approximately EUR 400 million. The transaction also demonstrates Citycon's
access to debt financing at competitive terms and the strength of our core bank
relationships”, comments Executive Vice President and CFO Eero Sihvonen. 

The margin is subject to a pricing grid based on Citycon's interest coverage
ratio covenant and depends additionally on the utilization of the facility. The
credit margin for drawn loans is initially approximately 1% p.a., including the
utilization fee. 

The new credit facility will be used to refinance approximately EUR 100 million
of term loans and additionally to replace a total of EUR 380 million currently
unutilized existing revolving credit facilities with an average remaining
maturity of 2.3 years. There are no substantial one-off costs relating to the
repayments. 

The mandated lead arrangers of the facility are Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken
AB (publ) (also acting as Agent), Pohjola Bank plc, Danske Bank A/S, Nordea
Bank Finland Plc and Swedbank AB (publ).
