£20 million revolving loan facility

MedicX Fund Limited (LSE: MXF), the specialist primary care infrastructure investor in modern purpose-built primary healthcare properties in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, is pleased to announce that it has completed the amendment and restatement of its previous £25 million revolving credit facility.

On 15 September 2016, the facility term was extended for a new three year term ending in September 2019. In addition, the amendment also provides for an option, with lender consent, that the immediately committed £20 million revolving credit facility may be extended by a further £10 million to £30 million or additional lenders be added with a view to increasing the facility on existing terms.

Interest is payable on amounts drawn under the amended facility at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a lending margin of 2.00 per cent. per annum. A non-utilisation fee of between 1.10% and 0.75% will be payable on the reduced, £20 million immediately available commitment depending on the level of utilisation.   

The Fund has £337 million of other debt facilities with a weighted average fixed cost of 4.45% including undrawn amounts, with an average remaining term of just over 14 years.
