Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In December 2021, a group of six banks -- including China Construction Bank and ICBC -- signed an agreement to refinance syndicated loan facilities to Stride Property Limited (SPL), increasing the Stride's bank debt commitments by NZD 145.1 million to a total of NZD 600 million. The refinancing places the average tenor of the debt at 3.7 years, with unspecified tranches and individual commitments. NZD 400 million of the facilities are classified as green facilities in accordance with the company's Green Finance Framework. ANZ Bank, China Construction Bank, ICBC, MUFG Bank Limited, HSBC, and Westpac served as members of the syndicate. The facilities are securitized through a security agent which holds a first registered mortgage on all the investment properties directly owned by Stride. CCB's contribution is captured via Record ID#99804. ICBC's contribution is captured via Record ID#99805.

Staff comments

1. AidData is unable to ascertain the individual contributions made to the facilities by each member of the syndicate, therefore equal contributions from each of the six lenders have been assumed. 2. Given that the two Chinese banks seem to have not contributed to SPL's previous bank debt facilities, the NZD 600 million figure has been used in the calculation of the transaction amount.
