We are pleased to announce the successful closing of a US$500,000,000 Term Loan Facility (the “Facility”) for Investec Bank Limited (“Investec” or the “Borrower”) on 6th November 2023.

The proceeds of the loan are to be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of the Borrower’s US$600,000,000 syndicated term loan facility signed on 18th November 2021.

The Facility was initially launched at US$450,000,000 and achieved a substantial oversubscription over the launch amount. Commitments were scaled back and the significant market demand further allowed the deal to be increased, closing at US$500,000,000. A total of 24 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. Competitive pricing and a single 2+1 year tranche further demonstrates the appeal of the transaction to lenders.
