Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On July 6, 2015, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) entered into a €120 million EUR bilateral term loan facility agreement with Telecom Italia S.p.A. (soon renamed TIM S.p.A.) — an Italy-incorporated Italian telecommunications company traded on the Borsana Italiana — for unspecified purposes. This facility carried a maturity period of five years and a final maturity date of July 6, 2020. The borrower had fully drawn down on the loan as of December 31, 2018. Record ID#108204 captures ICBC's loan. On June 15, 2018, ICBC entered into an amendment agreement with TIM for the facility; in the amendment, ICBC up-sized the loan by €40 million EUR and extended the maturity date by approximately one year — for a new maturity period of six years — to mature on June 15, 2021. Record ID#108205 captures the up-sizing. Record ID#108206 captures the maturity extension.
