4iG Group (“4iG”) entered into an agreement on the revised terms and conditions of the outstanding bond portfolio with institutional
and banking investors of corporate bonds issued under the Phase II of the Hungarian National Bank’s “Funding for Growth Scheme”
(FGS II). Under a new financing structure, the principal amount of the bonds – alongside the continued payment of interest
–becomes due in a single instalment at maturity in 2031. The objective of the restructuring was to establish a financing structure
aligned with 4iG long-term growth strategy, while providing a predictable and stable framework.
Between 2021 and 2024, 4iG achieved outstanding financial growth, with consolidated revenues increasing more than sevenfold
and EBITDA expanding nearly twentyfold. This performance clearly demonstrates the Group’s large-scale expansion, the strengthening
of its earnings capacity, and the financial stability that underpinned the establishment of the revised bond terms.
As an independent credit rating institute, Scope Ratings reviewed the amended structure as part of its preliminary rating
services and assessed the resulting improvement in liquidity favourably, while reaffirming the company’s existing credit rating.
The revised financing structure enhances 4iG’s financial flexibility and enables to allocate substantial resources made available
to its strategic priorities. These include planned investments in the space and defence industry, telecommunications and digital
infrastructure, as well as further growth initiatives and targeted acquisitions. The measure is aligned with the fundamental
objectives of the Funding for Growth Scheme (FGS), which is aimed to back up long-term value creation and sustainable growth
of national enterprises.
