Mubadala US$2.5 Billion Refinancing

As announced yesterday, Mubadala successfully refinanced its US$2 billion loan.  Some additional details today courtesy of Gulf News.

While the margin increased from 17.5 basis points to 75, this is still a comfortable margin especially given current market conditions.  And as well the downgrade by Moodys in March to Aa3.

The facility was also well received.  US$4 billion in demand.  And it was up-sized (I just had to use that word) by US$500 million to provide a back-stop for refinancing under Mubadala's ECP program.
