Trafigura closes 5.8 billion revolving credit facilities and signs 3.0 billion contingent liquidity facility

Trafigura Group , a market leader in the global commodities industry, announced the closing of its new European multi-currency syndicated revolving credit facilities totalling USD5.8 billion. The new ERCF, initially launched at USD4.5 billion, was substantially oversubscribed.
The ERCF comprises a USD1.8 billion 365-day revolving credit facility, a USD3.5 billion 3-year revolving credit facility, and for the first time, a USD0.5 billion 5-year revolving credit facility, noting that all facilities include two 365-day extension options. Total commitments for the facilities have increased by USD180 million compared to the 2025 closing amount. The facilities will be used to refinance the maturing 365-day facility and the existing 3-year facility (which had been extended in previous years), as well as for general corporate purposes.
Concurrent with the ERCF, Trafigura has signed a contingent revolving credit facility (the “Liquidity Facility”) totalling USD3.0 billion. This new facility has a 6-month tenor, with two 3-month extension options, and has been entered into to provide a liquidity buffer, if required during a period of heightened commodity price volatility. This Facility was also largely oversubscribed and includes an accordion feature.
Stephan Jansma, Trafigura Group Chief Financial Officer said: “The successful refinancing of our flagship European revolving credit facility — for the first time including a 5-year tranche — marks a major milestone for Trafigura. Strong interest from our banks in this tranche reaffirms their confidence in the Group’s longer term prospects.
The decision to concurrently sign a USD3.0 billion contingent liquidity facility reflects our proactive and conservative approach to risk management. It is also a testament to Trafigura’s scale, reach and preferential access to credit lines. The Group elected to structure this facility as a club deal with its relationship banks, following overwhelming interest and receiving USD8.0 billion in underwriting commitments.
The Group remains well positioned to navigate heightened market volatility, serve our customers and deliver on our long-term ambitions.”
The ERCF was arranged by a group of nine Mandated Lead Arrangers & Bookrunners (“MLABs”), including Bank of China Limited, London Branch, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., ING Bank N.V., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Societe Generale, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and UniCredit Bank GmbH as Active MLABs, and J.P. Morgan Securities plc and UBS Switzerland AG as Passive MLABs. UniCredit Bank GmbH acted as Global Coordinator. In addition to the MLABs, 44 financial institutions joined the ERCF during syndication.
The Liquidity Facility was coordinated by Societe Generale with a total of twelve Mandated Lead Arrangers joining the transaction: Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC, Banco Santander, S.A., London Branch, Barclays Bank PLC, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC, ING Bank N.V., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd., Societe Generale, Standard Chartered Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, UniCredit Bank GmbH.
