Investec Bank Plc US$450 Million Term Loan Facility

We are pleased to announce the successful closing of a US$450,000,000 Term Loan Facility (the “Facility”) for Investec Bank Plc (“Investec” or the “Borrower”) on 3rd July 2023.

 

Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc, SMBC Bank International plc, Standard Chartered Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., London Branch acted as Coordinators, Bookrunners and Mandated Lead Arrangers for the Facility. Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft acts as Facility Agent. The proceeds of the loan are to be used for general corporate purposes and refinancing of Tranche B of 6th July 2021 facilities agreement.

The Facility was initially launched at US$300,000,000 and achieved a substantial oversubscription of >2x the launch amount. Commitments were scaled back and the significant market demand further allowed the deal to be increased, closing at US$450,000,000. A total of 22 banks committed to the transaction from across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The success of the deal highlights the international syndicated loan market’s continued support for Investec despite the ongoing macroeconomic volatility. Competitive pricing and a single 2+1 year tranche further demonstrates the appeal of the transaction to lenders.

Details of the facility are as follows:

Borrower: Investec Bank Plc
Facility Amount: US$450,000,000
Purpose: General corporate purposes & to refinance Tranche B of 6th July 2021 facilities agreement
