Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In December 2019, RIT Capital Partners plc and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China agreed to a £85.3 million GBP three-year term credit facility. The loan details and purpose of this loan is unknown. These types of facility (RCF) are typically flexible as to currency, duration, and number of drawdowns, and bear interest linked to the three-month LIBOR rate (or equivalent) relevant to the drawn currency. As this type of loan is drawn in tranches with tenors less than one year it is classified within current liabilities according to standards set by RIT.
