Straits Asia refinances debt

The Singapore-based company has received from Standard Chartered Bank a committed, credit committee-approved offer of $US300 million.

The credit facility may be used to refinance the existing $US230 million bridge loan and provide additional funding for the company’s expansion and development plans.

The two companies are finalising documentation with financial close targeted for early to mid-November.

In September, parent company Straits Resources cancelled a restructure that would have seen Straits Asia acquire coal projects in Madagascar and Brunei, as well as being listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Shares in Australian-based Straits Resources jumped 33% or 36c to $1.45 on Friday.
