Australia's Whitehaven secures $600m loan

Australia's Whitehaven Coal said on Friday it had secured $600-million in new bank financing to repay part of its existing $1.1-billion acquisition loan tied to its purchase of BHP's Queensland coal mines, among other debt.

The financing is a senior secured syndicated facility comprising a $475-million term loan and a $125-million revolving credit facility, the company said.

In 2023, Whitehaven announced it would acquire BHP's Blackwater and Daunia mines, which are a part of the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) metallurgical coal joint venture in Queensland, for $4.1-billion.

"The successful execution of the new senior secured syndicated facility, with a headline rate of around 6%, further strengthens our funding flexibility, extends our maturity profile, materially reduces our funding cost and improves our weighted average cost of capital," MD and CEO Paul Flynn said.
