Project narrative

On September 7, 2022, a syndicate of lenders -- including Agricultural Bank of China -- signed an agreement to provide a USD 400 millions syndicated green term loan to Frasers Property. The borrow is Frasers Property Treasury Pte., Ltd. Proceeds from the facility will be used to finance new assets. The facility has a five-year maturity, with an interest rate of SOFR plus 145 basis points. The facility is issued under a "Green Finance Framework," which specifies which projects that the facility's proceeds can be used for. A total of x banks joined the syndicate, with Barclays, CTBC Bank, and MUFG serving as mandated lead arrangers, bookrunners, and underwriters, RHB Bank serving as mandated lead arranger, Agricultural Bank of China and Credit Agricole serving as lead arrangers, and Bank of Taiwan, Shinsei Bank, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, First Commercial Bank, Joyo Bank, Land Bank of Taiwan, and Shiga Bank serving as arrangers. Mandated lead arrangers joined at amounts exceeding USD 50 million, lead arrangers joined for USD 25-50 million, and arrangers joined for USD 10-25 million.

Staff comments

1. AidData is unable to ascertain the individual contributions made to the facility by each lender, therefore Agricultural Bank of China's contribution has been estimated at the low end of the lead arranger level (USD 25 million) to avoid overcounting.
