Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In December 2019, Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) — a leading Russian producer of copper, zinc and other precious metals — signed an EUR 200 million syndicated loan agreement with a group of Chinese and non-Chinese banks for corporate debt refinancing and working capital purposes. The 4-year unsecured loan facility provides for an up to EUR300 million increase option. Participants in the loan syndicate included Banca Intesa, Bank ICBC (JSC), Joint-Stock Commercial Bank “Bank of China (Russia)”, Isibasi Bank, PJSC ROSBANK, RCB Bank Ltd, China Construction Bank (Russia) Limited, AO Raiffeisenbank, and PJSC "Sovcombank”.

Staff comments

It is the largest metal zinc producer in Russia and the second-largest coal producer by volume. 2. The Clifford Chance served as a legal adviser for the transaction. 3. The individual contributions of ICBC, Bank of China, and China Construction Bank are unknown.
