£150 million Revolving Credit Facility

BBGI Global Infrastructure S.A. (LSE ticker: BBGI), the global infrastructure investment company, is pleased to announce that the Group has secured an amendment and extension to its multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") with three existing lenders (ING, DZ, KfW) and Barclays as the new fourth lender, replacing SMBC. Under the new agreement, the commitment size has been reduced from £230 million to £150 million.

 

The final maturity date has been extended by two years to May 2028, with options for two further one-year extensions post this date. The margin on the amended and restated RCF is 170 bps over the relevant reference rate. The revised RCF also includes a provision for a further uncommitted £100 million incremental accordion tranche, for which no commitment fees will be paid.

 

 

Duncan Ball, CEO of BBGI, said:

"The revised RCF will reduce commitment fees and is reflective of BBGI's proactive financial management. Our financial liquidity remains strong with a net cash position of £20.6 million as of 30 June 2024 and a strong dividend cover of 1.47x, providing us substantial headroom to consider any future investment opportunities."
