Financiamento

On 11 December 2019 Kenmare announced the signing of new debt facilities with Absa Bank Limited, The Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund, Nedbank Limited, Rand Merchant Bank and Standard Bank Group.

The first disbursement under the New Debt Facilities was made on 18 December 2019. It was applied to repay the Moma Project Loans, which were first disbursed in 2004, and to meet transaction costs. The remainder of the Term Loan was drawn in March 2020 and the Revolving Credit Facility in April 2020 in order to provide maximum liquidity and flexibility in light of the COVID-19 outbreak.
