Refinancing of loan facilities regarding Tor Viking II, Balder Viking and Vidar Viking
TransAtlantic has agreed on a refinancing of its existing loan facilities regarding Tor Viking II, Balder Viking and Vidar Viking. Previous loan facilities have been repaid and a new term loan facility of NOK 675 million, with a credit period until December 30, 2014, has been raised.
The new NOK 675 million term loan facility is secured by mortgage deeds in Tor Viking II, Balder Viking and Vidar Viking with priority ranking after the registered mortgage deeds that have been pledged in favor of the Swedish Maritime Authority.
The new loan facility is used for repayment of previous loans and to pay half of the consideration in connection with the acquisition of SBS Marine. Remaining part of the loan will be freely available for TransAtlantic. Remaining part of the consideration for SBS Marine is expected to be financed through the issue of new shares of SEK 555 million, which is expected to be completed in December 2011.
