The amounts borrowed under the facility will be used for the general corporate purposes of the group.

Waste-to-energy (WTE) operator Zheneng Jinjiang Environment Holding Company Limited has secured a US dollar syndicated term loan facility of up to $375.29m (US$270m) under a facility agreement with Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, according to an announcement.

Zheneng Jinjiang notes that the availability limit of the facility at the date of the agreement is $288.98m (US$207.9m), which may be subsequently increased to not more than $375.29m (US$270m).

Further, the annual rate of interest under the facility is the aggregate of 1.92% per annum and the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR).

The amounts borrowed under the facility will be used for the general corporate purposes of the group, including the refinancing of the $277.98m (US$200m) in aggregate principal amount of 6% senior unsecured notes maturing on 27 July and any existing indebtedness of the group.

The facility may be utilised by Zheneng Jinjiang from the date of the agreement up to seven months, subject to certain conditions with the National Development and Reform Commission.

The outstanding loans under the facility are said to be repaid in instalments, with full repayment required by the date falling 36 months from the date of initial utilisation.

Standard Chartered Bank will be the original mandated lead arranger and bookrunner and agent of the finance parties.

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.
