Staff Comments
- The individual financial contributions of the members of the syndicate are unknown. For the time being, AidData assumes equal contributions ($23,437,500) across the 32 known members of the syndicate.
- Norton Rose Fulbright served as a legal adviser to the lenders and Baker McKenzie served a legal adviser to the borrower.
- For loan and debt rescheduling records with variable interest rates, AidData calculates the all-in interest rate at T0 based on the reference rate (such as LIBOR or EURIBOR) on the loan start date, plus any known margin. Please see the methodology for additional details.
- The MLABs were expected to down sell 30% of their holds to other lenders joining in the loan. However, the loan received an overwhelming response, resulting in all but 2 MLABs selling more than 50% of their committed amount in general syndication.
