Accident Exchange slashes debt by £50m

Avis rental car

Accident Exchange, the accident management company, has reduced its debt by £50m in a debt for equity deal.

Separately, the business has also secured a new three-year credit agreement with its senior lender, Morgan Stanley, to extend £43m of working capital facilities until December 2013.

The £50m liability, in the form of convertible loan notes - which was originally due for repayment at the end of 2013 - has been erased in the debt for equity deal. Shareholders unanimously approved the new arrangement at an EGM held yesterday.

“Both deals materially strengthen the balance sheet,” said Steve Evans
