Olam obtains US$1b in revolving credit and loan facility

Proceeds will be applied towards refinancing debt.

The agribusiness company isn’t slacking off on its borrowing activities as it recently diversified its debt portfolio through securing a new multi-tranche facility.

According to a statement by Olam, the facility consists of two tranches, a US$850 million 364-day revolving credit facility and a US$150 million 5-year term loan.

“Proceeds from the Facility will be applied towards refinancing of existing debt and meeting working capital and general corporate funding requirements of the Company,” Olam said.

“This refinancing is a part of our proactive capital management strategy of diversifying our debt portfolio and achieving an optimum mix of tenor and overall borrowing cost,” said A. Shekhar, Olam’s executive director of finance and business development.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
