Nea Attiki Odos Parachorisi SA, a landmark transaction for the Greek infrastructure sector
We are delighted to announce that we successfully advised Alpha Bank, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank on the €2.76 billion financing to Nea Attiki Odos Parachorisi S.A., a member of GEK Terna Group, in connection with the new 25-year concession of Attica Motorway. Financial close occurred on 4 October 2024 and the new concession commenced at 00:00 on 6 October. This is a landmark transaction for the Greek infrastructure sector and the largest financing ever arranged for a road project in Greece. The project involves the operation, maintenance, and improvement of the 70 km Attica Motorway, which is the main ring road of the greater Athens metropolitan area and a vital link for the national road network.
Our team, led by Euripides Ioannou (Partner) and Vassilis Tsintavis (Senior Associate), supported by associates Theodore Fostieris and Erato Zeliou, provided comprehensive legal advice to the four Greek systemic banks, covering all aspects of the financing, including the analysis of the concession agreement, the project agreements, the security package, the intercreditor agreement, and the loan documentation. We congratulate the amazing teams of GEK Terna and each lender on the accomplishment of this feat and thank them for their trust and cooperation. We are honored to have been part of this successful project and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.
