Prior to entering into the Amendment, i.e. on 27/12/2017, an amendment to the Loan Agreement was executed between the Borrower and ING Bank Śląski S.A. and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A., as the existing consortium of lending banks, under which ING Bank Śląski S.A. assigned (the assignment of receivables) to Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. its receivables against the Borrower arising from the loan granted within the framework of the bank consortium (“the ING's Receivables”), and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. accepted the said assignment becoming thus the sole lender. In addition to the ING's Receivables, also all the entitlements, rights and claims, and all the risks and obligations relating to the ING's Receivables were assigned to Bank Zachodni WBK S.A..
In accordance with the provisions of the Amendment and for the purpose thereof, the period of financing provided under the Loan Agreement has been extended.
The amount of loan granted under the Amendment is EUR 25,000,000.
