Subject of the Disclosure
AVAILMENT OF 7-YEAR TERM LOAN FROM PNB AND PAYMENT OF SHORT-TERM LOAN FROM BDO
Background/Description of the Disclosure
Apex Mining Co., Inc. (APX) today drew down the amount of P2.50 billion from its 7-year Term Loan Facility with the Philippine National Bank. The proceeds of the loan will be used primarily to immediately prepay the Company's outstanding short-term loan of P2.25 billion with BDO Unibank, Inc. This effectively converts part of the Company's short-term bank loan obligations into long-term, thereby improving the Company's financial position. The Company has other outstanding short-term bank loans with Union Bank of the Philippines for US$8 million (P407 million) and with the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation for P405 million.
