Press release


Alcatel-Lucent successfully renewed its Syndicated Credit Facility


Paris, April 6, 2007 – Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that it has successfully completed the signing of a EUR 1.4 billion syndicated 5-year revolving credit facility (with two one-year extension options) which will be used for general corporate purposes and will replace the existing undrawn EUR 1.0 billion syndicated facility maturing in June 2009.
