On Wednesday, TORM was able to announce an actual, as opposed to rumored, refinancing of its $900 million revolving credit facility with Danske Bank, BNP Paribas, HSH Nordbank, and SEB which was scheduled to mature in 2013 with a bullet payment of $630 million. Conditioned upon a cash equity raise of $100 million, likely a rights issue, to be completed by December 15th, the banks have agreed to extend the maturity to 2015, when it matures with a bullet payment of $480 million. The difference in the balloon payments of $150 million will be amortized during that two year period. The facility will retain the current covenant package and will include a market value test applicable from 2013 as well as dividend restrictions.
