Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi a.s. US$ 300,000,000 One Year Club Loan Facility Please be informed that Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.S. ("Yapi Kredi") have closed a US$300 million self arranged club loan facility which renews an existing 1 year US$170 million facility. This has been closed in only 5 weeks from launch, reflecting the strong appetite which has resulted in a significant over subscription. This facility matches the success of the US$450 million syndicated facility that Yapi Kredi completed in July, which was launched at US$250million.
The facility has been achieved with 23 close relationship banks taking two levels of commitments. The banks comprise a geographic group from Japan, USA, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Bahrain and Austria with Natexis Banques Populaires, as facility agent and Fuji Bank, as documentary agent.
The deal carries a margin of 50bp per annum and was signed on the 29th September at the Yenikoy premises of YAPI KREDI. The signing was hosted by Mr. Naci Sigin, President and CEO of Yapi Kredi, and attended by representatives of the lending banks.
