LONDON — Gazprom Germania arranged a 500 million euro ($710 million) credit line to fund its business.
The five-year revolving facility pays interest of 130 basis points more than the euro interbank offered rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. Lenders also received a commitment fee equivalent to 35 percent of the interest margin. Commerzbank and UniCredit led arrangers.
Gazprom founded Berlin-based Gazprom Germania in 1990 to market Russian natural gas to western Europe, according to its web site. About a third of the natural gas consumed in Germany originates from West Siberia.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
