Glencore announces refinancing of its Short Term Revolving Credit Facility

Glencore plc ("Glencore") is pleased to announce the signing of a new short-term revolving credit facility (the "Facility").

The Facility was initially launched at USD 5 billion and closed substantially oversubscribed, raising USD 8.55 billion, due to strong support from Glencore’s broad group of relationship banks. Reflecting the low average utilisation of our combined Short and Medium Term Facilities, Glencore has reduced it’s size to USD 7.335 billion. A total of 56 banks committed to the Facility, including 31 Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.

The Facility refinances Glencore’s USD 7.7 billion one-year revolving credit facility signed in February 2016.

Similar to the current facility being replaced (effective end of May), this new facility remains unsecured, containing a 12-month extension option and 12-month borrower’s term-out option, thereby extending the final maturity to May 2019. There are no financial covenants in the Facility documentation.

Citi, Commerzbank, Standard Chartered and UniCredit were the Active Bookrunners in the syndication of the facility.
