Syndicated Loan Legal Service Project for A Mining Company
 2023-06-01

Project Background:

A mining company applied for a syndicated loan, with the transaction amounting to nearly $300 million.

Service Provided:

RH Consulting provided comprehensive legal services for this mining company, including policy interpretation and investment planning, due diligence on the target company, suggestions on transaction structures and potential risks and responsibilities, issuance of legal due diligence reports, and drafting and revising transaction documents.

Outcomes and Impact:

The RH team, through due diligence and comprehensive legal services, assisted the mining company in successfully financing and the parent group in successfully acquiring a smelting plant, ensuring compliance and risk management in the transactions. The acquisition project of the smelting plant in Indonesia by a Guangdong enterprise marked a significant investment attempt by Chinese investors in the downstream nickel processing industry in Indonesia, representing the strategic investment of a Chinese Guangdong state-owned enterprise group in Indonesia and highlighting the important position of Chinese enterprises in the Indonesian market. In 2023, the RH team was shortlisted for the "2023 ALB Indonesia Law Awards" by the internationally renowned legal media ALB (Asian Legal Business) and won the "PRC Law Firm Indonesia Practice of the Year" award. This project's success not only provided legal assurance for the mining company's business expansion in Indonesia but also further enhanced the professional reputation of the RH team in the field of cross-border investment.
