Project narrative
In 2014, PT Intertrend Indonesia — a majority-owned subsidiary of PT Integra Indocabinet Tbk, an Indonesian wood manufacturing company — secured a pre-export financing facility from PT Bank ICBC Indonesia valued at USD 2.5 million. The facility was structured as a non-LC (Letter of Credit) loan with a final maturity date of September 26, 2017. The loan carried annual interest rates of 5.8% for USD-denominated loans and 12.8% for IDR-denominated loans (as of 2016). It was collateralized by specific Intertrend inventories and trade receivables, and further supported by personal guarantees from Halim Rusli, Hendro Rusli, and Widjaja Karli. Loan covenants restricted Intertrend’s ability to distribute dividends, pledge assets, extend loans outside of normal operations, and required the company to maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum current ratio of 1.0, a maximum gearing ratio of 1.25×, and a minimum interest service coverage ratio of 1.0. Although originally scheduled to mature in September 2017, the facility was fully repaid early on March 2, 2017, using proceeds from a working capital credit facility and term loan provided by PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI).
