First Financing with support from an international export credit agency

 

Rio de Janeiro, October 25, 2024, Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. – Eletrobras, informs that yesterday its Board of Directors approved the raising of financial resources in the amount of US$ 400 million (four hundred million dollars), through the contracting of financing guaranteed by the Italian Export Credit Agency – Servizi Assicurativi Del Commercio Estero SPA (SACE).

 

The operation was structured in the form of a bank syndicate, led by Citibank N.A. SACE will provide an 80% risk guarantee coverage of the disbursed amount, and the remaining 20% will be guaranteed by the bank syndicate, for a period of 10 years, with 3 years of grace period and 7 years of amortization.

 

As a component of Eletrobras' financial strategy, we seek to diversify fundraising instruments and obtain credit lines with terms and costs appropriate to project financing. In this context, this will be the first fundraising with the support of an international export credit agency.
