Ritch Mueller on $160m loan to Minera Autlán
Ritch Mueller has advised Banco Santander Mexico, as lead arranger, exclusive coordinator and administrative agent, as well as the lenders, in the granting of a USD$160 million syndicated loan in favor of Compañía Minera Autlán.
The facility was divided into two tranches: USD$130 million long-term (seven years and two years grace) and a revolving working capital facility (with a peso-denominated portion).
The transaction was completed on November 15. Linklaters acted as New York counsel to Santander and the lenders, while Paul Hastings and Canales Servicios Legales advised Minera Autlan in the US and Mexico, respectively.
Ritch Mueller’s team consisted of partner Jean Paul Farah Chajín (pictured), and lawyers Gabriel Robles, Gerardo Barbará González and Rodrigo Vázquez Sainz.
