RESTRUCTURE OF NORTHAM’S BANKING FACILITIES:
SETTLEMENT AND CANCELLATION OF THE TERM LOAN FACILITY AND
INCREASE TO THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY FROM R7.2 BILLION TO R10 BILLION
Northam is pleased to announce that it has successfully concluded and implemented an agreement to restructure its
existing banking facilities, whereby (i) the R2.445 billion term loan facility (“Term Loan”) has been fully settled and
cancelled, and (ii) the existing R7.155 billion five-year revolving credit facility (“RCF”) has been increased by
R2.845 billion to R10 billion (“Restructure”).
As a result of the Restructure, Northam’s total available banking facilities now amount to R11 billion, comprising the
increased RCF of R10 billion and existing general banking facilities of R1 billion.
The remaining terms of the RCF remain unchanged, including the maturity date being August 2027.
The Term Loan had a staggered maturity profile of four equal tranches, commencing in February 2026 and ending in
August 2027. Consequently, the Restructure has both increased Northam’s available banking facilities and removed the
early staggered maturity profile, thereby enhancing the Group’s liquidity and financial flexibility until August 2027.
As at 30 June 2023, all Northam’s banking facilities were fully undrawn and available.
Alet Coetzee, Northam’s Chief Financial Officer, said “The restructured and increased banking facilities provide the
Group with additional liquidity and financial flexibility. Northam remains appreciative of the continued support and
additional commitment from its consortium of lenders.”
