Debt Maturities  

Platform has a policy to avoid debt maturities that are over 25% of drawn debt in any 12 month period.  Debt maturities consist of larger capital markets transactions towards the end of the profile and a number of smaller bank repayments beforehand.  The exception to this is the Covid Corporate Financing Facility (CCFF) that is due to mature in May 2021.
