Infrastructure India plc, an AIM quoted infrastructure fund investing directly into assets in India, announces that, on 29 March 2023, it agreed an extension to the maturity date of the term loan provided by IIP Bridge Facility LLC, a n affiliate of GGIC, Ltd ("GGIC") (the "Term Loan").

 

The Term Loan is a secured four-year facility entered into by IIP's wholly owned Mauritian subsidiary, Infrastructure India Holdco on 2 April 2019. The loan carries an interest rate of 15% per annum. On 31 August 2022, the Term Loan principal was increased by US$6 million, taking the principal to US$111 million, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. The maturity date of 1 April 2023 has been extended to 1 May 2023.

 

As announced on 28 February 2022 and regularly thereafter, IIP is engaged in discussions with several third parties regarding the potential sale of it's largest asset, Distribution Logistics Infastructure Limited, and the extension to the maturity date enables IIP to remain focussed on these discussions.
