Victoria Gold Amends Debt Facilities and Welcomes New Lenders
28 Maio 2019 - 7:00AM
Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX.V-VIT) (“Victoria” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce certain amendments to its existing debt
facilities.
The Company has increased the senior secured
credit facility to US$100 million from US$75 million while
decreasing the subordinated secured credit facility to US$75
million from US$100 million. The quantum of the combined credit
facilities remains unchanged at US$175 million.
The subordinated secured credit facility will
continue to be held by Orion Mine Finance (“Orion”) while the
senior secured credit facility will be held by Societe Generale
(“SocGen”), Macquarie Bank Ltd. (“Macquarie”) and Caterpillar
Financial Services Limited (“Cat Financial”). SocGen will act as
Administrative Agent for the senior secured credit facility.
As of the date hereof, the Company has drawn the
entire US$75 million subordinated secured credit facility and has
drawn US$65 million of the US$100 million senior secured credit
facility.
Separately, the Company continues to have a
master lease agreement with respect to a US$50 million equipment
financing facility with Cat Financial which has been substantially
drawn.
"We have moved a portion of the subordinate
facility over to the senior facility as there was strong demand
from internationally distinguished lenders when Orion offered to
syndicate the senior facility. On a combined basis, Victoria will
pay a slightly lower interest rate,” stated John McConnell,
President & CEO. “Victoria enjoys a very positive relationship
with our funding colleagues including Orion, Cat Financial and
Osisko Gold Royalties. We now welcome well respected mining
financiers SocGen and Macquarie as our newest funding
partners.”
