In total, 14 international banks and credit insurance companies are participating in this financing with a term of three years, syndication of which was significantly oversubscribed. Six globally reputed financial institutions and banks with excellent ratings have been added to the banks consortium. The financing structure remains largely unchanged and primarily consists of non-Fund based (guarantee) facilities.

Marcus A. Wassenberg, CFO of Senvion said: "This enhanced facility with long tenure is of significance importance for the growth of the Company and the oversubscription of the same with new additions to the Consortium clearly reflects strong confidence of global Banks and Credit Insurance Companies in business fundamentals, Company Management and strategy of the Company."
