Wintermar has concluded a rescheduling agreement with two major lenders, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), a development finance institution and a subsidiary of KfW Group. As a result of this rescheduling, US$ 29 million of debt which was originally due to mature between 15 March 2021 to 15 December 2022 has been extended to 15 December 2025. In the amendment letter dated 17 June 2020, the repayment schedule has been amended to match the new projected cash flow of the Company, resulting in reduction of principal payments by US$3.6 million in 2020 and US$12 million in 2021. The loans covered under this agreement comprise 56% of the total bank loans of the Company.

Their belief in our long-term sustainability and support for our rescheduling has placed the Company in a strong position to weather this critical time. We are grateful for their support."
