Some great research 2phevs.
I would image that the senior debt syndicate will be a combination of the main names (EIB and GCF confirmed, IDB Invest, IFC, FMO all still waiting for Board approvals) and don't believe one of them would fund the full whack on their own.
The bigger question for me is who will provide the remaining equity (still about $100-130m to find in addition to Hy24's contribution). My sincere hope is that ATOME don't look to do an equity raise to participate in the equity club themselves - with the SP so low, this would be hugely dilutive and not in the interests of existing shareholders at all.
I wonder if any of the debt providers will also provide some equity, or perhaps even Yara themselves (skin in the game and all that). I have noticed that an investment professional from Impact Fund Denmark has been very active in reacting to ATOME's social media posts. I did some research on them and they tend to only invest small ($10-50m) amounts, so don't think they'll be a big participant, but wouldn't be surprised to see their name in the club.
