Glencore announces 
refinancing of its 
Short-Term Revolving 
Credit Facilities

Glencore plc ("Glencore") is pleased to announce the refinancing of its short-term revolving credit facilities (the "Facilities") effective 24th May 2018.

The Facilities were initially launched at USD 6 billion and closed substantially oversubscribed, raising USD 9.7 billion, reflecting strong support from Glencore's broad group of relationship banks.

Due to the stronger commodity price environment, Glencore has increased the size of the Facilities to USD 9.085 billion. A total of 58 banks committed to the Facilities, including 31 Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.

The Facilities refinance Glencore's existing USD 7.335 billion short term revolving credit facilities signed in May 2017.

In line with the current facilities, the new Facilities remain unsecured, containing a 12-month extension option and 12-month borrower's term-out option, thereby extending the final maturity to May 2020. There are no financial covenants in the Facilities documentation.

BNP Paribas, HSBC Bank plc, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., a member of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Santander UK plc were the Active Bookrunners in the syndication of the Facilities.
