Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
LONDON - Anglian Water Group Limited, the parent company of Anglian Water Services Financing Plc, has announced a significant £500 million equity investment from its shareholders. The capital infusion is aligned with the shareholders’ ongoing trust in the company’s business strategy and its persuasive arguments to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), as well as the government’s commitment to enhancing the investment appeal of the sector.
This financial move is part of Anglian Water’s strategy unveiled in March 2025 to fortify its capital structure in anticipation of expected regulatory changes and to sustain its strong investment grade credit ratings. Out of the total funds, £300 million will be allocated by early September 2025 to repay a £240 million bond due in March 2026 and to clear drawn bank revolving credit facilities. The remaining £200 million is slated for provision to the Group by early June 2026, which will be directed towards repaying £200 million of bank loans maturing in mid-June 2026.
The structured deployment of the funds demonstrates Anglian Water’s proactive approach to managing its financial obligations and ensuring the stability of its capital structure. This shareholder backing underscores the confidence in Anglian Water’s financial health and its capacity to meet future financial commitments.
The company’s approach reflects a broader trend in the utilities sector, where firms are increasingly seeking to bolster their balance sheets to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and secure their financial positions.
The information disclosed is based on a press release statement from Anglian Water and is indicative of the company’s strategic financial planning in response to the current economic environment.
