Bomchil assists in Metrogas debt refinancing

Bomchil has assisted Banco BMA and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Argentina) (ICBC) in a new tranche of the refinancing of the international debt of Metrogas, Argentina’s main gas distributor.

On this occasion, ICBC granted Metrogas a new bilateral loan for up to $4,229,956,343.72 to repay the principal maturities of the second half of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 of an existing foreign loan.

The transaction also included the amendment to the syndicated and bilateral loans granted to Metrogas by ICBC and BMA in order to implement a new maturity schedule, adjust certain covenants and modify the interest rate applicable to such loans.

Pablo Ernesto Anderson and Damián Díaz acted as in-house counsel for Metrogas. Fernando Forni and Sebastián Videla acted as in-house counsel to BMA; and Tomás Koch, Sonia Lanutti and Juan Cruz González Groppo acted as in-house counsel to ICBC.

Bomchil’s team consisted of partners Fermín Caride (pictured left) and María Victoria Tuculet (pictured right), and associates Benjamín Nicolás Anaya, Camila Belén González Lima, Tomás Celerier and Lourdes María Aguirre.
