Mercuria Energy Trading announced that it signed a new credit agreement, which consists of $1.35 billion 364-day and $450 million three-year revolving credit facilities. ABN AMRO Bank, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, ING Bank, Natixis, Rabobank International, The Royal Bank of Scotland and Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking acted as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners for the facilities.

These new facilities will be used for general corporate purposes and to refinance the company’s maturing $250 million three-year revolving credit facility dated June 3, 2011; $1.7 billion 364-day revolving credit facility; and €145 million three-year revolving credit facility dated May 24, 2012.

Guillaume Vermersch, Group CFO, commented, “In total 48 banks committed to the facility including a number of new banks for Mercuria Energy located in North America, Middle East, Africa and Asia where our banking relationships are developing at a rapid pace. This demonstrates the robust appeal of the facility as well as the repeated confidence in the Company’s business model. We look forward to continuing to work closely with our overall banking group.”
