知情人士透露，澳大利亚采矿服务提供商国家集团有限公司（National Group Corp Pty）已筹集2亿澳元（合1.41亿美元）的私募信贷用于现有债务再融资，这表明随着银行收缩业务，直接放贷机构正进入该行业。
Australian mining services provider National Group Corp Pty has raised A$200 million ($141 million) in private credit to refinance existing debt, according to people familiar with the matter, the latest sign that direct lenders are stepping into the sector as banks pull back.
知情人士称，King Street Capital Management、Alpha Wave Global和Gordon Brothers Group提供了这笔三年期贷款，利率在百分之十几的高端，因讨论私密事项，知情人士要求匿名。他们表示，该交易已经签署，但尚未注资。他们说，这笔资金将用于偿还包括德意志银行股份公司（Deutsche Bank AG）和海棠控股国际（SeaTown Holdings International）等贷方在内的现有私募信贷债务。
King Street Capital Management, Alpha Wave Global, and Gordon Brothers Group provided the three-year loan, which pays interest in high teens, the people familiar said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters. The deal has been signed, but not yet funded, they said. The proceeds will be used to repay existing private credit debt from lenders including Deutsche Bank AG and SeaTown Holdings International, they said.
国家集团、King Street、Alpha Wave和Gordon Brothers未立即回应置评请求。德意志银行和海棠控股拒绝置评。
National Group, King Street, Alpha Wave and Gordon Brothers didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Deutsche Bank and SeaTown declined to comment.
这笔交易反映了在银行因更严格的环境、社会和治理政策而从该行业撤出之际，私募信贷如何填补矿业相关项目资金的空白。澳大利亚炼焦煤矿商塔穆尔煤矿有限公司（Tahmoor Coal Pty）上个月获得了RRJ Capital提供的1.40亿美元私募信贷贷款以重启运营。
The deal reflects how private credit is filling a void in funding mining-related projects as banks pull back from the sector amid tighter environmental, social and governance policies. Australian coking coal miner Tahmoor Coal Pty last month secured a $140 million private-credit loan from RRJ Capital to restart its operations.
