Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited

("MPO" or the "Company")

 

 

Loan Facility Secured for

First Redevelopment Project

 

 

Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited, managed by Sniper Capital Limited, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a credit facility arrangement for up to HK$105 million (c.US$13.5 million) with Banco Weng Hang S.A., one of Macau's leading local banks.

 

The credit facility will be used to finance the redevelopment of Rua da Penha, MPO's first residential redevelopment project in Macau and to partially refinance the original cost of acquisition of the property.

 

Drawdown of the loan will be subject to usual conditions, including agreement of final documentation. The facility is non-recourse to MPO and is for a term of approximately two years to July 2012, with the first drawdown to be made no later than 22 September 2010. Interest will be charged at three-month HIBOR plus 1.65% per annum. With the agreement of this loan facility, Rua da Penha is now considered fully funded.

 

The Company continues to adopt a highly measured cash management policy, retaining a strong and prudent balance sheet. As at 31 May 2010, the Company had a cash balance equivalent to approximately US$32.5 million. MPO's current loan-to-value, inclusive of cash balances, equates to 23.76%. Following the full drawdown of this latest loan, this will increase to 27.68%.

 

David Hinde, Chairman of MPO said: "Successfully securing this competitively priced facility for the Company's first redevelopment project is a testament to MPO's strong relationships in the local financial community, and will enable the Manager to continue to effectively execute its investment and development strategy."
