Recently, Sichuan Development (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sichuan Development) successfully completed the formation of a syndicate for an international aviation leasing project loan of $295 million. This is another major breakthrough in overseas financing after Sichuan Development successfully issued the first US $500 million overseas US dollar bond in Hong Kong in the early stage, marking a new stage for Sichuan's development to plan and utilize the international capital market.
The leading bank of the loan syndicate is the French Foreign Trade Bank, which has attracted six commercial banks from Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia and other countries and regions to participate, including Airbus Bank, KFW, Germany Baden Wuerttemberg Bank, Bank of East Asia, Japan Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank and National Bank of Australia. The syndicated loan will be mainly used to purchase the second batch of aircraft assets of Guoxiang International Aircraft Leasing Company, a subsidiary of Sichuan Development, which is mainly of Airbus A320 series and Boeing B737 series. The loan interest rate will be 185 basis points higher than Libor, and the term will match the lease agreement. At that time, this batch of aircraft will be leased to Vueling Airlines of Spain, Dubai Airlines of the United Arab Emirates Turkish Airlines and other airlines.
