據路透社8月10日報道，以色列石油勘探公司Ratio Oil周一表示，將向銀行再融資6.5億美元。

這筆貸款的利息為倫敦銀行同業拆借利率加上3.5%，由8家銀行組成的財團提供，包括匯豐銀行(HSBC Plc)、法國巴黎銀行(BNP Paribas)、荷蘭國際集團(ING Bank NV)、法國外貿銀行(Natixis)、法國興業銀行(Societe Generale)、萊利銀行(Nedbank)、Mizrahi Tefahot和Hapoalim。

該公司計劃在第一階段提取4.8億美元，用于償還4.5億美元的貸款，這筆貸款是該公司在以色列地中海沿岸利維坦天然氣氣田第一階段開發中所承擔的份額。

該公司將把剩余的貸款用于利維坦項目的未來開發，該項目已于2019年底投產。

Israel's Ratio Oil refinances bank debt with new $650 million loan

Israel’s Ratio Oil Exploration (RATIp.TA) said on Monday it refinanced its bank debt with a new seven-year dollar loan of $650 million.

The loan, bearing interest of LIBOR plus 3.5%, is provided by a consortium of eight banks, including HSBC Plc, BNP Paribas, ING Bank NV, Natixis, Société Générale, Nedbank, Mizrahi Tefahot, and Hapoalim.

Ratio is planning to withdraw $480 million in the first stage, which it will use to repay a $450 million loan it took to fund the company’s share in the development of the first stage of the Leviathan natural gas field off Israel’s Mediterranean coast.

It will use the remaining loan for the future development of Leviathan, which started production at the end of 2019.
