INPP reaches financial close on second Priority School Building
Programme 'Aggregator' funding tranche
International Public Partnerships Limited ('the Company',
'INPP') is pleased to announce that the Amber Consortium, of which
INPP is part, has reached financial close on the second privately
financed batch of five batches of schools being delivered through
the Priority Schools Building Programme (PSBP).
The project uses a unique financing model based upon the
establishment of a funding vehicle known as the 'Aggregator'. One
of the key features of the Aggregator is the ability to warehouse
loans and thereby aggregate total financing requirements across all
five schools batches.
The second tranche of funding will support the development of
seven secondary schools on existing sites in Hertfordshire, Luton
and Reading. The total capital expenditure on the schools in this
batch is GBP144 million, with the Aggregator providing GBP137
million, of which the Company will fund approximately GBP10.2
million. The residual funding will be provided by the project
sponsors including Interserve Construction Limited, Kajima
Partnerships Limited and IUK Investments Limited (HMT).
The PSBP is a centrally managed government programme set up to
address the needs of the schools most in need of urgent repair.
Through the programme, 260 schools will be rebuilt or have their
condition needs met by the Education Funding Agency (EFA), with all
schools within the programme delivered by the end of 2017. As part
of the programme, 46 schools in five batches with a value of circa
GBP700 million are being delivered via private finance funding
using the PF2 structure - the government's new approach to private
finance.
The Aggregator is financed by the Amber Consortium, which
includes INPP and Aviva Investors, with European Investment Bank
also providing senior debt.
INPP expects to provide up to an additional c.GBP60 million
funding to the remaining three batches. Financial close of these
schemes is expected in the course of 2015.
