Project Finance Investments Limited
(the "Company")
Investment of £10.7million
c.15 year loan note yielding c. 7.8%
The Board of Directors of the Company is pleased to announce the completion on 3 November 2015 of a transaction subscribing for loan notes with a term of c.15 years and a value of £10.7 million (the "Loan Note"). The yield on the Loan Note is c. 7.8% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.
The Loan Note was issued by Project Finance Investments (UK) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The proceeds of the Loan Note were used to provide project finance (the "O&M Co Loan") to an operations and maintenance company active in the UK renewable energy market (the "O&M Co").
The O&M Co Loan is secured on a senior basis against the receivables of O&M Co under 27 underlying contracts governing the operation and maintenance of renewable energy installations (the "O&M Contracts").
All payments of both principal and interest in relation to the O&M Co Loan are expected to be serviced from contracted income arising from the O&M Contracts.
The acquisition of the Loan Note has been financed fully from the gross proceeds of the Company's recent IPO.
