Description

On January 28, 2013, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China contributed up to $130,000,000 USD as leading bank in a syndicated loan facility for Seaspan Corporation — a company that is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The participating banks, as well as ICBC's specific commitment, are unknown. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin, and Seaspan Corporation is subject to a commitment fee of 0.4% per annum calculated on the undrawn amount of the loan. The loan will be used for refinancing of existing vessels. In January 2014, the company drew down $340 million of existing faciltiies to fund the reduction in the outstanding amount of another credit facility of $1.0 billion of Seaspan Corporation.
