Intesa Sanpaolo joins €600m Term Loan ESG-linked for Leonardo

18 March 2026

The IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division of Intesa Sanpaolo has participated, alongside a pool of international and domestic banks, in a new €600 million Term Loan ESG-Linked for Leonardo, an international industrial group, among the main global companies in Aerospace, Defence, and Security (AD&S).

The transaction is intended to:

• refinance a portion of Leonardo’s debt, matured and reimbursed in January 2026
• meet the Group’s ordinary and extraordinary liquidity needs over the coming months while leaving the availability of the short-term lines of credit unchanged.

In line with Leonardo’s sustainability strategy and its first Transition Plan, as well as Leonardo’s remuneration policy, the credit line integrates targets for the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Within the transaction, the IMI CIB Division acted as Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner.

Through this deal, Intesa Sanpaolo confirms its commitment to supporting the growth plans and sustainable transformation of leading industrial companies, accompanying them in strengthening their financial structures and integrating ESG objectives into their business models.
