STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Six One Commodities Global LLC (“61C”) today announced that it has successfully closed an $800 million, 18-month revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a global borrowing base that advances its transition into a leading integrated energy merchant globally.

MUFG Bank, Ltd. also serves as Administrative Agent and Sole Bookrunner. HSBC Bank USA NA serves as the Senior Managing Agent. Seven other banks participated at various commitment levels.
“The unwavering support we have received from new and existing banking partners reinforces their confidence in our financial stewardship and strategic growth plans,” said Josh Bailey, Chief Financial Officer of 61C. “A global facility is an important resource that aligns with our expansion into the growing LNG sector and our commitment to fostering connectivity across our global business. This revolving credit facility is not just a testament to our solid financial foundations but also a catalyst that will enable us to navigate future market dynamics with agility and pursue new business initiatives more effectively.”
“MUFG is proud to have acted as Sole Bookrunner on 61C’s inaugural global borrowing base credit facility,” said Marcie Weiss, Head of Commodity & Structured Trade Finance, Americas, and Head of Supply Chain Finance for MUFG. “This achievement highlights the strong trust placed in MUFG, as well as the continued support from 61C’s established bank group and the valuable addition of new participant banks. 61C is well-positioned to expand its presence globally, and the successful completion of this transaction is a true testament to the bank group’s confidence in 61C’s leadership and strategic direction.”
