Torex Gold Enters Into a Sustainability-Linked Loan
May 04 2023 - 4:00PM
Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG) is
pleased to announce that it has amended the terms of its $150
million revolving credit facility and its $100 million term
loan to include incentive pricing terms related to achieving
various Sustainability Performance Targets (“SPTs”) including those
in safety, climate change, and alignment with the World Gold
Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles (“RGMPs”).
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex,
stated:
“We are pleased to be one of the first mid-tier
gold producers to enter into a Sustainability-Linked Loan (“SLL”).
We see this as an opportunity to lead and support the shift in the
markets towards connecting the cost of capital with performance
excellence on matters that are critical to the reputation and
success of our company and our industry. This includes the safety
of our workers, climate change, environmental stewardship, and
social responsibility more broadly. Amending our credit facilities
in this way is yet another example of Torex working in that “sweet
spot” between continuously improving the commercial aspects of our
business while even further bolstering our industry-leading
position on matters of ESG.”
The SPTs linked to the revised financing terms
have been set for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, considering the
current 2025 maturity of the credit facilities. The SPTs are
aligned with Torex’s previously disclosed sustainability
targets.
The Bank of Montreal and ING Capital LLC acted
as the Sustainability Structuring Agents for the SLL.
