I&U Group, a Kropyvnytskyi-based integrated agricultural company engaged in crop cultivation, sugar production, and electricity generation, has succesfully completed a comprehensive debt restructuring. The transaction involved the restructuring of c. US$40 million in facilities from 7 local and international lenders.
Restructuring discussions commenced in April 2024 and alignment was reached with six lenders by November 2024, with negotiations with the remaining lender continuing into mid-2025. Final approvals and legal documentation were completed in 2025, resulting in the execution of restructuring agreements throughout the year. Restructuring covered facilities of EBRD, BSTDB, Oschadbank, Credit Agricole, Ukrsibbank (BNP Paribas Group), and ProCredit Bank.
The successful transaction enabled I&U Group to resume debt service, achieve a sustainable debt profile, and further strenghten its financial position following the impacts of the russian invasion of Ukraine.
This mandate reflects FinPoint’s unrivalled competence in restructuring advisory, drawing on extensive experience across both sides of the capital structure.
FinPoint acted as the exclusive financial adviser to I&U Group throughout each stage of the transaction. The team was led by Sergiy Budkin, Vitalii Stukan, and Vladyslav Honcharenko.
