Project narrative
On May 24, 2005, a syndicate of seven banks — including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and Jian Sing Bank Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Construction Bank Corporation Limited (and later renamed China Construction Bank (Asia) Corporation Limited (CCB (Asia)))— signed a $50 million USD syndicated facility agreement with Wing Tai Holdings Limited — a Singapore-incorporated and headquartered investment holdings company, real estate developer, and lifestyle retailer — for general corporate purposes. This loan carried a maturity period of five years. The proceeds were to be used by the borrower for general corporate purposes. Record ID#104106 captures ICBC's contribution. Record ID#104107 captures Jian Sing Bank's contribution. In addition to ICBC and Jian Sing Bank, the following lenders contributed to the loan syndicate: Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Bank of East Asia Limited (BEA), Asia Commercial Bank (ACB),, Wing Hang Bank Limited, and Hang Seng Bank. HSBC served as arranger, and the rest were participating lenders. This loan was oversubscribed but not increased.
