Trafigura Trading LLC's Syndicated Revolving Credit Facility Closes at USD3 Billion Following Strong Demand

HOUSTON, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Trafigura Trading LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trafigura Group Pte Ltd successfully renewed its North American Borrowing Base Credit Facility. Despite a strong oversubscription, the company decided to slightly reduce the two year facility from USD3.5 billion to USD3 billion because of a lower financing need in the lower priced commodity environment.  The facility supports Trafigura Trading's energy trading, logistics and merchant activities in North America.  This includes its crude and condensate supplies from the Eagle Ford and Permian basins and related to its interest in the Buckeye Texas Partners terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas.
