BBVA grants $200M Inaugural Sustainable Corporate Loan to a Mining Company in Peru

BBVA grants $200M Inaugural Sustainable Corporate Loan to a Mining Company in Peru

BBVA Sustainable Corporate Loan

The agreement between Hochschild Mining and BBVA is a ‘Club Deal’ facility totaling $200 million in favor of the mining companies Ares and Amarillo Mineraçao do Brasil.

The sustainable operation is in the ‘KPI-linked’ category because it incorporates an adjustment mechanism to link the interest rate of the loan to the mining company’s performance in three sustainable KPIs related to physical security, water and waste. They will be reviewed on an annual basis by an independent agency.

As a sustainable co-agent, BBVA assisted Hochschild Mining in coordinating the adjustment mechanism of the interest rate and reviewing the necessary legal documentation to certify the sustainable quality of the loan.

“This year, through the mining companies Ares and Amarillo Mineraçao do Brasil, subsidiaries of Hochschild Mining, we received a financing request for $200 million. BBVA was selected as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, as well as sustainable co-agent due to our global experience in ESG operations in the region,” explained Victor Gordillo, Head of Corporate Banking at BBVA Peru.
