Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On October 9, 2013, a group of 38 banks -- including ICBC and Bank of China -- signed a USD 1.76 billion syndicated multi-tranche revolving credit facility and term loan facility with Trafigura Pte. Ltd. The facility marks a renewal of Trafigura's previous lending facility, including the refinancing of the maturing USD 1.025 billion tranche of Trafigura's 2012 facility (captured via Record ID#98404). Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The facility is comprised of four tranches: a 364-day revolving credit facility, a three-year term loan, a five-year term loan, and a CNY-denominated tranche. The individual values of each of the tranches are unknown. BOC's contribution is captured via Record ID#98438. ICBC's contribution is captured via Record ID#98439. ANZ Group, ICBC, Standard Chartered, DBS Bank, National Australia Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation served as original mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners. Bank of China joined as an original mandated lead arranger and bookrunner during syndication. Other members of the syndicate are unknown.

Staff comments

1. AidData is unable to ascertain the individual contributions made by each member of the syndicate to the facility, therefore equal contributions from each lender have been assumed (1.76/38). 2. AidData is unable to ascertain which tranches BOC and ICBC contributed to, therefore the average of the maturities (3 years) has been used in the creation of this project record.
