According to Dow Jones, German healthcare company Fresenius SE has negotiated lower terms on a LIBOR-based loan. LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate and is a filtered average of rates that banks charge each other for short-term, unsecured loans.

Improvements in Fresenius’ debt ratios coupled with an improving debt market compelled the company’s lenders to reduce the interest rate on its $1.2 billion term loan. Originally negotiated in 2008 at LIBOR plus 3.5% with a LIBOR floor of 3.25%, Fresenius’ loan will now have cost of funds of LIBOR plus 3% with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%
