UAE – Mubasher: Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has obtained a senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement worth $1 billion with a renewal option, according to a press release.
The loan holds a four-year tenor from its signing date on 31 March 2022.
Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait (ABK), Emirates NBD Capital, and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) served as the initial mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, while Emirates NBD was the facility agent for the loan deal.
