PANTHEON INFRASTRUCTURE PLC
Revolving Credit Facility
19 March 2024
The Board of Pantheon Infrastructure PLC ("PINT", or the "Company"), the listed global infrastructure fund, is pleased to announce that the Company has extended the term of its £115 million multicurrency revolving credit facility ("the Loan Facility"). The Loan Facility will now mature in March 2027, which represents an extension of 15 months on the current facility.
The Loan Facility terms have remained broadly unchanged and the Company has been able to maintain pricing at existing levels, with a margin of 2.85% per annum over the relevant currency benchmark rate or compounded reference rate, payable on drawn amounts. This reduces to 2.65% per annum once certain expansion thresholds have been met.
The Loan Facility extension provides the Company with longer term certainty over its liquidity position and, in time, is expected to support further investment in high-quality infrastructure assets from PINT's investment pipeline.
Richard Sem, Partner at Pantheon, PINT's investment manager, commented:
"The lenders' continued support is further proof of the strong performance and high quality of PINT's portfolio. Extending the loan facility provides ongoing support for liquidity planning and additional investment capacity that, over time, will enable PINT to continue to execute on its high-quality pipeline of global infrastructure opportunities."
