Launched on August 14th, with general syndication beginning on September 17th, the Facility received strong demand, leading to significant oversubscription.

This strategic financing underscores Mercuria’s continued commitment to strengthening its financial position and supporting its ongoing operations across North America.
“The successful refinancing of our North American Borrowing Base secures greater liquidity and flexibility for the Group as we advance our commodities footprint and energy transition goals,” said Guillaume Vermersch, Mercuria’s Group CFO. “This strong over-subscription by our bank partners speaks to their confidence in our proven business model and forward-looking vision.”
“With the refinancing of our Borrowing Base facility, we are positioned to accelerate growth in the North American market, advancing our strategic business initiatives,” said Bin Wang, Mercuria’s North America CFO. “This year’s refinancing demonstrates the continued strong support from new and existing banking partners. Twenty-three banks committed to the facility, including a large group of top-level JLAs and the new addition of global and regional banks.
