Update on Amplify 2015
Technicolor successfully completed its refinancing transaction on 12 July allowing the Group to borrow new funds at a lower interest rate, effectively extend its debt maturity and significantly increase its financial flexibility. The implementation of this new debt structure is another important step in the improvement of the Group’s financial structure.
The Group put in place a new €100 million 5-year revolving credit facility as part of the refinancing transaction.

Frederic Rose, Chief Executive Officer of Technicolor, stated:
“Technicolor continued to show strong progress across all activities in the first half of 2013, combining revenue growth, improved profitability and solid cash flow generation. This performance is reinforced by the refinancing transaction recently completed, which further strengthens the Group’s financial structure. Technicolor continues to deliver on its Amplify 2015 strategic roadmap, dynamized notably by another good performance of Connected Home, by a strong performance across Entertainment Services activities and by the enhancement of its intellectual property portfolio as illustrated by the significant agreement announced with Sony for smartphones.”
