Project narrative

On May 11, 2015, the London Branch of the Bank of China (BOC) entered into a £50,000,000 GBP revolving credit facility (RCF) agreement with Anglian Water Services Financing plc (AWSF) — an England and Wales-incorporated financing company and wholly owned subsidiary of AWG Group Limited that raises money on behalf of Anglian Water Services Limited, an English water company based in the East of England wholly owned by Anglian Water Group Limited, a Jersey-incorporated company owned and controlled by a consortium of investors including Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Colonial First State Global Asset Management, Industry Funds Management (IFM), and 3i Group plc — for on-lending to Anglian Water Services for general corporate purposes. This loan carried a maturity period of five years and a final maturity date of May 11, 2020. Record ID#100128 captures the loan. Then, between April 1, 2020 and October 19, 2020, BOC entered into an amendment agreement with AWSF; in this amendment, BOC extended the final maturity date to June 24, 2024 — a maturity period extension of 4.083 years — for a new maturity period of 9.083 years. Record ID#100129 captures BOC's contribution to this debt rescheduling.
