AVI JAPAN OPPORTUNITY TRUST PLC (the "Company")
Additional Debt Facility
The Company is pleased to announce that, further to the Debt
Facility announced on 5 April 2019, it has increased its 364 day,
1.465 billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility with
Scotiabank Europe plc by an additional 1.465 billion Yen
(approximately GBP11 million as at 14 October 2019).
The additional borrowing is taken out under the facility
agreement entered into on 5 April 2019 and therefore includes the
same terms, which are typical for a facility of this nature,
including net asset value and asset coverage covenants. Interest is
payable under the facility at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75 per
cent.
Should the additional facility be fully drawn down, the
Company's gearing is expected to be approximately 22 per cent. of
the Company's net assets, based on total net assets as at 14
October 2019. However, the current intention is to maintain
aggregate borrowings in the medium term to 10-15 per cent. of net
asset value. Use of additional borrowings in excess of this level
will be considered to capitalise on near term market opportunities,
or to mitigate cash drag in respect of the future issuance of
ordinary shares.
