We represented the Export-Import Bank of the United States (acting as guarantor) and US lenders cooperating with it (Citibank, PEFCO, and Atrafin) in connection with a series of export credit loans extended to Ukrainian corporate borrowers, including Ferrexpo Poltava Mining, Ferrexpo Yeristovo Mining, Nibulon, Rise and Sharivske. The total amount of the loans is about US$200 million. The borrowers used the export credits to purchase US-manufactured goods such as John Deere agricultural machinery, Caterpillar mining trucks, GSI grain bins, and Vertimill ore grinding mills.

We acted for Amsterdam Trade Bank on over 20 trade finance transactions where ATB provided loan facilities to state and privately held borrowers for the total amount of approximately US$700 million. The loans facilitated international trade operations in agricultural, power, chemical, metals, mining, retail, oil and gas, and machine building industries by increasing supply chain efficiency.

We represented EnergoGroup in connection with the restructuring of approximately US$1 billion debt under the PXF facility granted by a syndicate of international banks, including ING Bank, UniCredit Bank, and VTB Bank (France), Raiffeisen Bank International, and others. The transaction involved about 20 parties, 10 jurisdictions, and a voluminous security package comprised of mortgages, pledges, suretyships, guarantees, and temporary assignments.

We act for the Western NIS Enterprise Fund (a $150 million regional fund that was funded by the US government via the USAID) in connection with structuring, launching, and continuous operation of the Impact Investment Program. The program allows social enterprises (businesses that resolve specific social and environmental issues) to access low-interest loans denominated in local currency. Over the last 5 years, we helped WNISEF fund above 30 loans granted to social enterprises from all over Ukraine.
