Yinson Production is pleased to announce the successful closing of a 5-year corporate loan facility of up to USD 500 million, including accordion (the “Facility”).

The proceeds of the Facility will be used for refinancing certain existing debt and general corporate purposes. A portion of the Facility is specifically designated for green initiatives in support of Yinson Production’s continuous efforts in innovating and introducing cutting-edge technologies to reduce emissions and being the frontrunner in decarbonising the FPSO industry towards the goal of net zero.

This Facility is the first of its kind raised by Yinson Production and underpins the banks’ confidence in Yinson Production as a leading independent owner and operator of FPSOs worldwide as well as the robust fundamentals and attractiveness of the FPSO industry in the global energy infrastructure space.

Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking acted as Coordinator, Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner (“MLAB”). Affin Bank Berhad, AmInvestment Bank Berhad, CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad, ING Bank N.V., Singapore Branch, and UOB also acted as MLAB. A general syndication process is expected to be launched in January 2024.

Commenting on the successful closing of the facility, Yinson Production’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr Markus Wenker, said “We are very pleased to have successfully completed this transaction with the strong support of our banks and thank our bankers for their trust in us. This is the first corporate loan raised by Yinson Production following the reorganisation and decentralisation of Yinson Group earlier this year and showcases our ability to attract financing along the entire capital structure, utilising Yinson Production’s balance sheet. The corporate loan will help us to unlock further growth in an attractive FPSO market environment and create value for our shareholders.”
