Project scope and objective

The proposed operation consists of a US$55 million senior loan to VDP, with a tenor of up to 8 years, including a 1.5-year grace period, to be used as follows: (i) US$28 million for the expansion and renewal of sugarcane plantations; (ii) US$20.5 million for the installation of a sugar factory with production capacity of 850 tons of raw sugar per day; and (iii) US$6.5 million to carry out adjustments to integrate the mill with a 48MW electric power cogeneration plant to be developed in a joint venture with Albioma (the "Loan").

VDP, established in 2003, located in Suzanapolis, Brazil, produces and commercializes ethanol, made from sugarcane, in the Brazilian market. In 2016, the Company milled 1.6 million tons of sugarcane and produced 139,000 m3 of ethanol, totaling sales of US$79 million.
