Mesoblast Secures Lower-Cost, Non-Dilutive Five-Year Credit Facility

Mesoblast Limited (ASX: MSB) has strengthened its balance sheet by refinancing existing debt through a new five-year credit line of up to US$125 million from Dr Gregory George, a major shareholder and board member. The company has already drawn US$75 million, which was used to fully retire its senior secured loan and partially repay a subordinated royalty facility, materially reducing financing risk. The remaining US$50 million remains available at Mesoblast’s discretion until June 30, 2026. 

The facility carries a fixed interest rate of 8.00% per annum with an interest-only structure over the full five-year term, representing a meaningful reduction in borrowing costs. Importantly, the arrangement is non-dilutive, offers full prepayment flexibility without penalties, and does not place restrictions on future unsecured debt or licensing activity. Until residual obligations are settled, the facility remains unsecured and ultimately will be backed only by a specific royalty stream, preserving operational and strategic flexibility.
