London, UK 2 July 2021: Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income Plc ("RCOI" or the "Company") has announced it has originated one new investment:
§ Blackbuck Resources LLC - RCOI participated in a $50.0 million first lien delayed-draw term loan to a sponsor-backed water infrastructure company focused on providing E&P operators with a one-stop shop for all things related to water management, including treatment, gathering, recycling, storage and disposal. At closing on 30 June 2021, $9.9 million was committed by RCOI and $8.9 million was drawn at closing.
The first lien term loan has a maturity of June 2024 and an estimated all-in yield to maturity of 11.9 percent for RCOI on a fully-drawn basis. The term loan is RCP's first sustainability-linked loan, whereby the loan pricing steps up if certain sustainability targets are not achieved. RCP intends to use similar lending structures for conventional energy infrastructure and infrastructure services companies going forward.
