Project narrative
Between August 2 and 8, 2013, a syndicate of seven banks — including the Bank of China (BOC) — entered into a $190 million USD syndicated revolving credit facility (RCF) agreement with PT Trakindo Utama — an Indonesian heavy equipment solution provider of Caterpillar machines and engines — for general corporate purposes. The RCF carried a maturity period of five years and an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 290 basis points (bps). The proceeds were to be used by the borrower for general corporate purposes. OCBC Bank served as sole bookrunner, with syndication bringing Bank Mandiri and First Gulf Bank as lead arrangers, BOC, Bank of Taiwan, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and Bank Rakyat Indonesia as participants.
Staff comments
1. A 6-month LIBOR was assumed. The average 6-month LIBOR for August 2013 was 0.39493%. Therefore, AidData has coded the interest rate as 0.39493% + 2.90% (290 bps) = 3.29493%. 2. The individual contributions of the seven lenders to this $190 million USD syndicated revolving credit facility are unknown. For the time being, to estimate BOC's contribution, AidData has assumed that each lender contributed equally ($27,142,857.14285714 USD) to the loan syndicate.
