Successful Realisation of FS Crude Infrastructure Loan at 14.8 percent IRR

Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income ("RCOI" or the "Company"), the LSE-listed energy infrastructure and energy-transition credit investor, is pleased to announce the successful realisation of its investment in FS Crude LLC at a 14.8 percent realised IRR and 1.23x realised MOIC.

In March 2020, RCOI committed $5.9 million for a first lien delayed-draw term loan to sponsor-backed FS Crude LLC, a company which provides crude gathering, storage and blending services to a diversified footprint of producers in the core of the Delaware Basin.

On 16 September 2022, FS Crude LLC fully refinanced this loan with a new source of financing, resulting in a 14.8 percent realised IRR and 1.23x realised MOIC for RCOI investors. This capital will now be re-deployed in RCOI's attractive pipeline of infrastructure and energy-transition credit opportunities.

Christopher Abbate, Co-Head of Riverstone Credit, the Company's Investment Manager said:

"This investment was made at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a result, endured a significant amount of operational and financial volatility. By lending in a first-lien, senior secured position to a company backed by a very high quality financial sponsor, the investment was able to ride through this tumultuous period to a successful exit with an attractive rate of return."
