Åhléns, which is otherwise debt-free and profitable, stands strong following a successful turnaround in a challenging market. Through this bond, we can repay our entire tax deferment and further strengthen our financial stability to continue delivering growth and increased profitability going forward,” says Ayad Al-Saffar, CEO of Åhléns.
The bond issue strengthens Åhléns’ financial position and enables continued growth and profitability.
