ArabFinance: Sixth of October Development & Investment Company “SODIC” signed an addendum to its Medium Term Facility with Commercial International Bank “CIB” to raise the total amount of the loan to EGP 500 million directed towards the development of October Plaza.

The debt financing comes in line with SODIC’s goal to prudently increase its leverage and financing tenor enhancing shareholder returns. SODIC’s leverage as per the consolidated financial position of 1Q19 remained low with at a total debt to equity ratio of 0.35x.

The facility will be directed to expediting construction of the entire project which is anticipated to be delivered ahead of schedule.

“It is a pleasure to work with CIB again, one of the largest commercial banks in Egypt" commented Omar Elhamawy, Chief Financial Officer. “Increasing the facility comes as a testament to SODIC’s credibility and strength of its financial position.”
