The facility is an oil prepayment facility with repayments being serviced through receivables from a designated oil contract. The facility agreement has a maturity of 12-years and its availability period expired on December 9, 2017.

One of the subsidiary loans approved through this facility was a $60 million loan in 2016 for the 31.1 km Alto Dondo-Waco Kungo-Rio Keve Bridge Section and Waco Kungo-Rio Keve Bridge Section (Lot 5) of the EN120 Road Rehabilitation Project.

The proceeds of this loan were used to finance a $23,325,000 commercial contract with China National Machinery Industry Corporation Group (SINOMACH).

The project involved the rehabilitation of two road segments (measuring 31.1 km in length) in Cuanza-Sul Province: one that runs from Alto Dondo to Rio Keve Bridge via Waco Kungo and another that runs from Waco Kungo to Rio Keve Bridge (Lot 5). The road section was officially completed around May 14, 2019.
