Revolving Credit Facility extended and expanded to GBP750m
The Board of TRIG announces that the Company has refinanced and
increased its multi-currency revolving credit facility ('RCF'). The
renewed RCF of GBP750m has been made available to TRIG for a
three-year committed term expiring 31 December 2025 at improved
pricing compared to the previous GBP600m facility. This extension
supports the Company's strong balance sheet, with significant
headroom alongside retained earnings both to satisfy development
and construction commitments and to take advantage of other
attractive investment opportunities. The RCF is currently GBP413m
drawn.
The interest charged in respect of the renewed RCF continues to
be linked to the Company's ESG performance. TRIG will incur a
premium to, or reduction in, the margin and commitment fee based on
performance against defined and stretching sustainability targets.
The margin can vary between 180bps and 190bps over the prevailing
base rate for Sterling and Euro borrowings, depending on TRIG's
performance against the agreed sustainability targets.
The consortium of lenders is comprised of the following banks;
National Australia Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland International, ING,
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Barclays, Lloyds, BNP Paribas,
ABN Amro, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and Intesa SanPaolo.
