Project narrative

On June 11, 2008, a syndicate of 12 banks — including the Bank of China (BOC) — signed a $165 million USD syndicated loan agreement with Punjab National Bank (PNB) — an Indian state-owned bank — for on-lending purposes. This loan carried a maturity period of three years and an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 105 basis points. The proceeds were to be used by the borrower for on-lending purposes. CITIC Ka Wah Bank contributed $15 million USD. In addition to it, the following lenders contributed the respective amounts to the loan syndicate: Bank of America Securities Asia ($20 million USD), DZ Bank ($20 million USD), HSBC Bank ($20 million USD), Natixis ($21 million USD), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) ($20 million USD), Chinatrust Commercial Bank ($15 million USD), Banque des Mascareignes ($10 million USD), Hua Nan Commercial Bank (HNCB) ($10 million USD), Taiwan Business Bank (TBB) ($8 million USD), Chang Hwa Commercial Bank ($3 million USD), and the Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank (SCSB) ($3 million USD). Bank of America Securities Asia, DZ Bank, HSBC, Natixis, and SMBC served as mandated lead arrangers. CITIC Ka Wah Bank and Chinatrust Commercial Bank served as coordinating arrangers. Banques des Mascareignes and HNCB served as arrangers. TBB, Chang Hwa Commercial, and SCSB served as co-arrangers. The loan was oversubscribed and up-sized from its initial $100 million USD target.

Staff comments

1. A 6-Month LIBOR was assumed. The average 6-Month LIBOR rate for June 2008 was 3.104%. Therefore, the interest rate has been coded as 3.104% + 1.05% (105 basis points), or 4.154%.
