Aluminum company RusAl entered into a syndicated credit facility agreement of up to $400 million with international banks aimed at early partial debt prepayment, the company said in a press release, Interfax reported.
"The financing will be provided by a syndicate of international banks, including ING Bank as the coordinating mandated lead arranger, and Bank of China and Nordea Bank as the mandated lead arrangers, UniCredit Bank Austria, UniCredit Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International and Societe Generale as the senior lead arrangers," RusAl said.
In early February, the company intends to prepay the scheduled amortizations of principal due for the third and fourth quarters under the $4.75 billion syndicated facility dated Sept. 29, 2011, for $406 million, RusAl said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
