摘要

Mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners ANZ, Bank ofTokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, National Australia Bank and Westpac have launched whitehaven coal's A$1.4bn refinancing to general syndication. The deal, which matures in July 2019, comprises A$1.2bn of revolving credit and term loan tranches, which are being syndicated. An additional A$200m tranche for bonding purposes is being held by the MLABs. Existing lenders and a few new lenders have been invited after some banks joined the deal in an early-bird phase. Responses are due at the end of April. Three tickets are on offer. Mandated lead arrangers will earn 90bp for A$100m and more, lead arrangers will get 75bp for A$75m-$99m and co-arrangers will receive 60bp for A$50m-$74m.
