Fossar Markets intermediated a 4 billion ISK loan from a U.S. investment fund

In December, Fossar Markets acted as an intermediary for a 4 billion ISK loan from a U.S. investment fund to Almenna leigufelagid (AL).

The loan agreement is a part of the refinancing of AL’s debt, which will result in a considerably lower cost of capital, making the company more suitable for listing in the stock exchange. AL intends to list on the Nasdaq Iceland stock exchange within two years, according to Maria B. Einarsdóttir, CEO of AL.
