AUTODOC, Europe's leading online retailer of automotive spare parts and accessories, has successfully placed a EUR 530 million Term Loan B, marking its debut in institutional debt markets. The transaction, announced on July 16, 2026, also includes a EUR 50 million Revolving Credit Facility, bringing the total financing package to EUR 580 million.
The Term Loan B carries an interest rate of EURIBOR +3.50% and has a tenor of seven years. It has been rated Ba3 with a stable outlook by Moody's and B+ with a positive outlook by S&P. The accompanying Revolving Credit Facility has a tenor of 6.5 years and carries interest of EURIBOR +3.00%, serving as a liquidity buffer.
In connection with this transaction, Autodoc Holding SE has been established as the Group's new parent company. All shares in Autodoc Holding SE are held by AutoTech GmbH & Co. KG, the investment entity of AUTODOC's three founders: Alexej Erdle, Max Wegner, and Vitalij Kungel.
Dmitri Zadorojnii, CEO of AUTODOC, said, 'This transaction is a defining moment for AUTODOC - one that sharpens who we are and how we operate. By implementing this financing structure, we secured public debt supported by a wide range of institutional investors to enable the continued path towards new chapters in the capital markets in the future.'
Lennart Schmidt, CFO of AUTODOC, added, 'AUTODOC's current net debt-free balance sheet provides a unique opportunity to introduce this market-tested financing framework. This transaction promotes long-term financial flexibility and accelerates shareholder returns without any equity dilution. It also gives us a track record with institutional investors and strengthens our optionality for a potential IPO - which remains on our agenda, with timing dependent on market conditions.'
The proceeds from the Term Loan B are expected to be used to repurchase shares held by entities owned or controlled by Apollo-managed funds in Autodoc SE and to pay related fees and expenses.
This milestone underscores AUTODOC's evolution as an institutionally structured company, continuing to build its automotive tech ecosystem. The company aims to become Europe's leading automotive aftermarket tech ecosystem, combining advanced AI capabilities, data-driven decision-making, and an enhanced digital experience.
