Six One Commodities Closes $800 Million Global Borrowing Base Facility
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Six One Commodities Global LLC (“61C”), an energy merchant backed by Pinnacle Asset Management, L.P. (“Pinnacle”), today announced the successful closing of an $800 million, two-year global borrowing base facility (the “Facility”) to support the company’s integrated global merchant operations. The Facility was significantly oversubscribed and includes a $300 million accordion feature, increasing total capital available to $1.1 billion. A diverse group of 12 banks across North America, Europe, and Asia participated in the Facility, marking an important milestone in 61C’s growth and the continued scaling of its global energy merchant platform.
MUFG Bank, Ltd., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Natixis, New York Branch, and Société Générale served as Joint Lead Arrangers for the Facility. MUFG Bank, Ltd. served as Administrative Agent and Sole Bookrunner. HSBC Bank USA N.A. served as Senior Managing Agent.
“The significant oversubscription of this financing reflects the confidence our banking partners have in 61C’s global platform, strategic direction, and growth trajectory,” said Josh Bailey, Chief Financial Officer of 61C. “The two-year tenor and single global borrowing base provide a unified liquidity foundation which allows us to continue building our business across three key regions.”
“MUFG is proud to have served as Sole Bookrunner on 61C’s refinancing of its global borrowing base credit facility," said Marcie Weiss, Head of Commodity Finance and Head of Working Capital & Trade Finance for MUFG. "This milestone underscores the deep trust our clients place in MUFG's structuring and execution capabilities, as well as the continued commitment from 61C's established bank group. We are also pleased to welcome a new lender to the Facility, broadening 61C's lender support as the company continues to expand its global footprint.”
