Project narrative

On May 3, 2021, it was announced that a syndicate of six Chinese banks -- including the Singapore branches of China Construction Bank, China CITIC Bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, and Bank of Communications, the Offshore Baking Unit of Bank of Communications, and the Shanghai branch of Everbright Bank -- and Halcyon Agri Corporation, a rubber producer based in Singapore, entered into a three-year, USD 270 million syndicated loan agreement, with a green-shoe option for up to an additional USD 30 million, bringing the total value of the loan to USD 300 million. The proceeds of the loan were to be used by Halcyon Agri to refinance a previous loan.
