LAMPRELL PLC("Lamprell" and with its subsidiaries the "Group")

 

NEW DEBT FACILITY SIGNED

 

Further to the announcement on 5 October 2021, Lamprell is pleased to announce that it has signed a USD 45 million revolving trade loan facility ("Initial Facility") with First Abu Dhabi Bank and Emirates Development Bank. The Initial Facility will assist with the working capital requirements of the two IMI newbuild jackup rigs which are currently under construction at the Group's Hamriyah yard.

 

As previously announced, the drawdown of the Initial Facility will be conditional on, amongst other things, the Group successfully completing a 19.99% equity raise, which the Group expects to complete in Q4 2021.

 

As part of the terms of the Initial Facility, there is a non-committed option for a further USD 45 million accordion facility which is expected to be available in Q1 2022.

 

 

Christopher McDonald, Chief Executive Officer said:

 

"We are delighted to have signed this new initial working capital facility for the two IMI rigs and are proud of the support from our key relationship banks in the current, volatile macro environment. This demonstrates the high level of support and close relationships that we maintain with the regional financial institutions.

 

"Lamprell has been successful in transforming its business over the past few years, making a timely diversification into renewables and digital ventures, and we are confident the new funding will strengthen our balance sheet and assist us in accessing the growth potential in both our addressable markets of renewables and oil and gas."
