NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES
26 January 2016, Moscow – Brunswick Rail Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”), following the refinancing of the secured facility on 18 January 2016, utilizing a sale and leaseback facility with Alfa-Leasing, announced today that OOO Brunswick Rail has utilized the second tranche of that sale and leaseback facility agreement with Alfa-Leasing, relating to 2,700 railcars, for approximately 1.6 billion RUR.
In the context of the rapidly deteriorating operating environment, as well as the unpredictability and volatility of the Russian rail industry and economy, the drawdown of the second tranche is in the best interests of the business. The second Alfa-Leasing tranche (which is without additional fees, and can be repaid at any time without penalty) will provide liquidity in the event of further market downturn.
