Trafigura signs USD1.5 billion prepayment facility

4 October 2013 - Trafigura has successfully signed a new USD1.5 billion prepayment facility agreement. The proceeds of this landmark transaction will be used to make a prepayment to Rosneft Oil Company in relation to a crude oil delivery contract signed between the two companies in June this year. The facility will be discharged by deliveries of crude oil to Trafigura.

Christophe Salmon, CFO EMEA for Trafigura, commented: "This is a landmark transaction for Trafigura in terms of the size, but also in its helping to support our ambitious growth plans within Russia. Sixteen banks joined the facilities, underlining the strong market appetite for structured commodity finance transactions."

The Royal Bank of Scotland plc acted as coordinating bookrunner and documentation agent for the transaction, while Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking will act as the Facility Agent and Security Agent.
