Portfolio Update

 

London, UK 21 April 2021: Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income Plc ("RCOI" or the "Company") has announced it has originated one new investment: 

§ Imperium3 New York, Inc - RCOI participated in a $63.0 million first lien delayed-draw term loan to a lithium-ion battery company that will commercialize high performing lithium-ion batteries by developing a large-scale manufacturing facility in Endicott, NY. In addition to having a first lien on the manufacturing assets, the credit facility is supported by two parent guarantors: Charge CCCV ("C4V"), which is a research and development company based in Binghamton, New York with patented discoveries in battery composition, and Magnis Energy Technologies Limited ("Magnis") [ASX: MNS]. Once producing at scale, the company will be the first U.S. battery cell supplier not captive to an original equipment manufacturer and supply various underserved industrial end-markets.

Riverstone Credit Partners L.P. ("RCP") originated and structured the investment. At closing on 16 April 2021, $6.8 mil lion was committed by RCOI and $5.4 million was drawn at closing. The first lien term loan has a maturity of April 2025 and an estimated all-in yield to maturity of 22.8% for RCOI on a fully-drawn basis. The yield is made up of upfront fees, a drawn coupon and exit fees that are higher than the average in the rest of the portfolio. The deal marks the second investment in a rapidly growing pipeline of energy transition and de-carbonization investments.
