It has an interest rate of six-month LIBOR (5.348%, the 6M LIBOR rate in December 2006) plus a margin of 1.7% = 7.048%, payable every May 20 and November 20 each year. The average effective interest rate in 2014 was 2.04%. Payment of loan principal amounted to US$299,847,962 up to December 31, 2015 and 2014, thus, there was no outstanding loan payable as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
