Armada Oyo has secured a five-year USD 190 million limited recourse loan facility with a club of seven mandated lead arrangers for an FPSO currently undergoing conversion and owned by its parent Bumi Armada Berhad. The loan will finance around 75% of the project cost, and remarkably was oversubscribed by more than the total project amount. Final commitments came through in springtime, with closure just in August.
SMBC acted as structuring bank, documentation bank and SACE coordinator on behalf of the team of mandated lead arrangers, which in addition to SMBC comprised Banca UBAE S.P.a., Australian and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ), ABN AMRO Bank N.V., WestLB A.G., Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank), and Standard Chartered Bank. Watson, Farley & Williams advised Bumi Armada on the legal aspects of the transaction.
