MONTREAL, June 27, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Boralex Inc. (" Boralex " or the " Corporation ") (TSX: BLX) has completed a long-term refinancing for an amount of US$90 million secured by two of its U.S. power stations.
The refinancing for the Hudson Falls and South Glens Falls power stations, both located in the State of New York with an installed capacity of 46 MW and 14 MW, respectively, will allow the Corporation to repay the current debt of US$70.7 million encumbering these assets, fund the required debt reserves, and finally free up an amount to support its development projects.
This non-recourse financing, which was arranged by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and TD Securities, bears interest at an annual rate of 3.51% and will be amortized by semi-annual payments over a 12-year period. Subject to certain customary conditions, funding has been scheduled on September 3, 2013, which corresponds to the maturity date of the current debt.
Boralex was represented by law firm K&L Gates LLP.
