Sartorius Places 200 Million Euro Note Loan

Goettingen, December 15, 2016 - Sartorius, a leading international laboratory and pharmaceutical equipment provider, successfully placed a note loan with a volume of 200 million euros.

Arranged by Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and BNP Paribas, the note loan with maturity terms of 5, 7 and 10 years was subscribed by national and international financial institutions, primarily savings banks and credit unions. In view of the high demand by debt investors, the issue of the note loan was increased from 150 million euros to 200 million euros. The issue will be used for general corporate financing purposes and represent a further long-term component of the Group's funding structure.

"By issuing this note loan, we are securing attractive long-term conditions for the company in the currently low interest rate environment and are further broadening our Group financing," said Jörg Pfirrmann, CFO and member of the Executive Board of Sartorius AG.
