8,395.0 Adjusted Net Debt and Hybrid Capital 8,995.4 7,936.8<br />

SSE's adjusted net debt and hybrid capital was £9.0bn at 30 September 2016, compared with £8.4bn on 31 March in 2016 and £7.9bn on<br />

30 September 2015. The level of net debt and hybrid capital reflects SSE’s ongoing investment programme and, in the six months to 30<br />

September 2016, includes an increase related to exchange rate movements following the Brexit vote, which had the impact of increasing<br />

the value of SSE’s foreign denominated borrowings by £270.7m.<br />

Proceeds of £501.0m from the US Private Placement arranged in March 16 were received in over the course of the six months to 30<br />

September 2016. The £300m EIB bank facility signed in March 16 was fully drawn on 20 May 2016 as a 10 year fixed rate term loan at a<br />

rate of 2.076%. The US private placement and EIB facility were used to repay £700m of maturing floating rate term loans during the<br />

period. One year extension options relating to the £1.5bn of committed facilities were invoked in the period with the facilities now<br />

maturing in July 2021 (£1.3bn) and November 2021 (£200m).<br />

Adjusted net debt and hybrid capital is stated after removing obligations on finance leases and cash held as collateral in line with the<br />

Group’s presentation basis which is explained at Note 2(i). Cash held as collateral refers to amounts deposited on commodity trading<br />

exchanges which are reported within Trade and other receivables on the face of the balance sheet.<br />

In addition the Group has an established €1.5bn Euro commercial paper programme (paper can be issued in a range of currencies and<br />

swapped into Sterling). The Group has £1.5bn (September 2015 - £1.5bn) of committed credit facilities in place, maturing in November<br />

2021 (£200m) and July 2021 (£1.3bn). At 30 September 2016, £1.2bn of these facilities remains undrawn.<br />
