Consolidated financial statements<br />

Transaction costs on the syndicated loan of 2011 amounting to € 13,921 thousand, on the restructuring of the syndicated loan in <strong>2014</strong><br />

amounting to € 4,233 thousand and on the retail bond of 2012 amounting to € 5,700 thousand have been deducted from the loan at<br />

initial recognition and are being amortised over the life of the extended loan.<br />

In 2012 the Chilean subsidiaries of the Group entered into four amortising term loan facilities:<br />

• A 3-year term loan of € 32 million entered by Inversiones Etex Chile Limitada to refinance existing bank loans at a more favourable<br />

rate. The loan was drawn in euro and a cross currency and interest rate swap was entered into that exactly matched the capital and<br />

interest payments on the loan, so converting the interest and capital flows into Chilean Peso. The loan has a final maturity in June<br />

2015. The loan is available for general corporate purpose. The financial covenants include required ratios of consolidated net debt to<br />

consolidated EBITDA of the Group.<br />

• Three term loans entered by Empresas Pizarreño SA for a total of CLP 49 billion in July 2012. The loans are available for use for<br />

general corporate purposes. Covenants all relate to the Empresas Pizarreño Group and include the usual operating covenants (see<br />

above). Financial covenants include required ratios of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA of the Group, the ratio of total<br />

debt to net income plus depreciation and of total debt to total equity. The loans are drawn in Chilean pesos. The loans have a final<br />

maturity in July <strong>2014</strong>, June 2017 and August 2017.<br />

The Colombian subsidiaries of the Group entered into three long term amortising loan facilities and several short term loans.<br />

One loan started in 2013 and two in <strong>2014</strong>:<br />

• A 5-year term loan entered by Skinco Colombit SA for a total of COP 20 billion in December 2013 of which COP 17 billion<br />

is drawn in December <strong>2014</strong>. The loan is available for use for general corporate purposes. There are no covenants on this loan.<br />

The loan has a final maturity in November 2018.<br />

• Two 7-year term loans of COP 45 billion and COP 14 billion entered by Ceramica San Lorenzo Industrial de Colombia SA.<br />

Both loans have a final maturity in December 2021. The loan is available for general corporate purpose.<br />

The covenants relate to Ceramica San Lorenzo Industrial de Colombia SA. The loans have a final maturity in December 2021.<br />

• All other loans are short term loans for a total of COP 61 billion and USD 14 million. For the USD loans forward contracts are drawn<br />

to match the repayments of the capital and interest charges, converting the interest and capital flows into Colombian Peso.<br />

A put option was granted to Lafarge Group (November 2011) in the context of the acquisition of the European and Latin American<br />

gypsum activities. After a standstill period of five years Lafarge Group had the right to exercise its put option in April 2017 or in April<br />

2018. This put option was estimated at the end of 2012 based on expected future EBITDA by the time of put exercise for the acquired<br />

gypsum activities in Europe and Latin America. In 2013, Lafarge Group expressed its willingness to anticipate the originally agreed<br />

exercise date and both parties could agree on a lower transaction price. On 12 February <strong>2014</strong> the transaction was completed and Etex<br />

bought their remaining 20 per cent stake in the European and South American gypsum operations for € 145,000 thousand in cash.<br />

Therefore, this amount was used as the best estimate for the put option in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013.<br />

The management of interest rate risk is described in Note 16.<br />
