Business Forum
Premier Energy has signed an up to €825 million Bridge Facility Agreement with J.P. Morgan and UniCredit to fund the acquisition of the Evryo Group, including its electricity distribution subsidiary, Distributie Energie Oltenia, as well as to refinance approximately €100 million of current indebtedness.

The Bridge Facility Agreement follows the approval by the shareholders of the acquisition and related financing at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 10 June 2026.

The facility provides committed financing for the acquisition and refinancing of certain current indebtedness. The company intends to work with its relationship banks on a long-term financing structure to replace the facility, which may include a bond issuance, a syndicated loan facility, or a combination of both.

In addition to J.P. Morgan and UniCredit, several international banks have been invited to participate in the financing, with the syndication process expected to continue over the coming weeks.
