In a recent development, Scorpio Bulkers Inc. has announced that they have reached agreements with certain lenders to increase certain existing credit facilities by a total of $41 million, says a press release published on the NASDAQ website.
The credit facilities will be used to finance the installation of exhaust gas cleaning systems (“scrubbers”) on some of their vessels.
How will it be done?
The additional amounts will be drawn upon the installation of the scrubbers on the respective vessels, and are structured as upsizing of existing credit facilities and have loan margins matching the loan margins on the respective existing credit facilities.
These financing arrangements will be subject to conditions precedent and the execution of definitive documentation.
