InterCement Group executed a debenture issuance by InterCement Participações and InterCement Brasil in an aggregate principal amount of BRL 4.7 billion (equivalent to approximately 910 million US Dollars), to refinance its existing outstanding loans and debentures scheduled to mature from 2020 until 2024.

This represents an additional and important step of the Group’s comprehensive liability management plan, together with the October 2017 IPO of Loma Negra CIASA, our subsidiary in Argentina, and the January 2018 sale of its assets in Portugaland Cape Verde.

These two new debentures will strengthen the balance sheet of the InterCement Group, by allowing the Group to lengthen its scheduled debt amortization, with principal payments commencing in 2023 and final maturity in May 2027.
