The certificate loans were issued in NOK and are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The loans are capitalised at their amortised cost.

The overdraft facility is a syndicated credit facility for a total of MNOK 1 000. The agreement was signed with four banks: DnB NOR, Nordea, SEB and Fokus Bank. The agreement was made through Norsk Tillitsmann (Norwegian Trustee) and will mature in July 2013.

The overdraft facility is currently undrawn. The Group has no financial instruments intended to cover refinancing risk.

The overdraft facility entails the following covenants related to key financial figures:

a) Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) plus interest income are to be twice as high as payable interest.
b) Net interest-bearing debt shall not exceed three times the EBITDA, but can be as much as 3.5 times that level for three consecutive quarters at the most.

The covenants in the loan agreements are satisfied.

All borrowing in the Group is centralised to Kongsberg Gruppen ASA and handled by the Group's corporate financial services unit, Kongsberg Finans.
