Lippo Malls Indonesia Retail Trust (LMIRT) has upsized its term loan facility limit to 4.5 trillion rupiah ($371.8 million) from 2.5 trillion rupiah previously.
The REIT had already secured amortizing term loan facilities of up to 2.5 trillion rupiah, which was granted under a facility agreement dated May 28. The facility has an average life of about eight years.
As at June 27, some 2.32 trillion rupiah under the facility had been drawndown and used to prepay the trust’s Singapore dollar (SGD)-denominated secured bank loans on June 7.
According to LMIRT’s manager, the proceeds from the upsized facility will be used to finance the purchase of the outstanding 7.5% senior notes due 2026, the payment of the consent fee under a consent solicitation in relation to the 2026 notes as well as other fees and expenses.

The notes are issued by LMIRT Capital and unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by LMIRT’s trustee, Perpetual (Asia) Limited.

The aggregate level of loan facilities of LMIRT Capital and other subsidiaries of the trust that may be affected is around $723.4 million.
Units in LMIRT closed flat at 1.2 cents on June 26.
