Gazprom subsidiary Gazprom Neft has agreed a $2.15 billion syndicated credit facility with a group of international banks, the company said in a press release Tuesday.
The unsecured loan, offered at an interest rate of 150 basis points above libor, will mature five years from the date of the first utilization and comes with a two-year grace period. Gazprom Neft plans to use the funds for general corporate purposes in 2014.
The agreement was signed with a wide consortium of banks, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Credit Agricole, Deutsche Bank, ING, Societe Generale, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Royal Bank of Scotland and UniCredit.
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.
