Zain Saudi raises $1.6 billion Islamic loan | Reuters:
Mobile Telecommunications Company Saudi Arabia (Zain KSA) has raised a 6 billion riyals ($1.60 billion) loan to refinance existing debt and secure access to additional liquidity to support growth, it said in a bourse filing.
The Islamic loan, with a murabaha structure, refinances until 2025 an existing debt facility with an outstanding amount of 3.85 billion riyals.
The new debt package has a two-year grace period and better commercial terms, said the company, which is 37% owned by Kuwait’s Zain Group.
On Sept. 30, “the company will drawdown only the outstanding amount of the existing agreement (3.85 billion riyals) and will withdraw the remaining amount as per the company business requirements,” it said.
