PANTHEON INFRASTRUCTURE PLC

 

Revolving Credit Facility

7 June 2023

The Board of Pantheon Infrastructure PLC ("PINT" or the "Company"), the listed
global infrastructure fund, is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed
a £52.5 million increase to its existing £62.5 million multicurrency
revolving credit facility ("the Loan Facility"), bringing the total to £115
million. The increase in the Loan Facility provides the Company with
additional liquidity to support further investment in high-quality
infrastructure assets from PINT's near-term investment pipeline. The Loan
Facility is currently undrawn.

As part of the increase the Company has sought to diversify the lender group
through the introduction of The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited
("RBSI") alongside existing lender, Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc ("Lloyds
Bank"). The Company may request further increases to the Loan Facility,
subject to the lenders' approval and the Company's borrowing policy, through a
£185 million uncommitted accordion feature.

The Loan Facility terms have remained broadly unchanged and the Company has
been able to maintain pricing at existing levels as part of the increase, with
PINT paying an initial margin of 2.85% per annum over the relevant currency
benchmark rate or compounded reference rate on drawn amounts under the Loan
Facility, reducing to 2.65% per annum once certain expansion thresholds have
been met. The Loan Facility expiry date remains as 19 December 2025 but can be
extended through an uncommitted extension option, subject to lenders' consent.

Richard Sem, Partner at Pantheon, PINT's investment manager, commented:

"We welcome another distinguished financial institution to the Loan Facility,
reflecting the high quality investment portfolio and credit quality of PINT.
The increased capacity will allow PINT to execute on near-term opportunities
from a strong pipeline of attractive infrastructure assets as we continue
building out our diversified portfolio."
