Description
In January 2011, CDB signed two buyer's credit facility agreements with Megafon for the purchase of Huawei equipment, known as CDB IV (200 million USD) and CDB V (300 million USD, recorded in project #66953). This project captures the 200 million USD CDB IV facility. The facility has an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.4%. The average 6-month LIBOR in January 2011 was 0.455%, so the interest rate has been calculated as 0.455 + 2.4 = 2.855%. CDB IV has a maturity date of 21 January 2016. CDB IV requires semi-annual payments starting on January 2013 until January 2016, with 77.5% of the principal amount not being due until the final year. The CDB V loan facility could not be accessed until either the USD 200 million facility was fully drawn down or until January 2012, whichever came first.
