Endeavour Financial Completes Three Debt Transactions

 Toronto Stock Exchange: EDV

George Town, Grand Cayman - Endeavour Financial Corporation ("Endeavour" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the successful closing of three debt transactions for its client, Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. ("Pacific Rubiales").

  • Endeavour advised Pacific Rubiales on the US$200 million financing of a 235km long, oil pipeline in the Republic of Colombia. The pipeline is owned by state-owned oil company, Ecopetrol S.A., (65%) and Pacific Rubiales (35%). The financing, concluded in March 2009, was provided by Grupo Aval, a consortium of Colombian banks led by Banco de Bogota.

  • Endeavour structured and arranged a one year, US$50 million bridge financing for the principal Colombian operating subsidiary of Pacific Rubiales. The financing, concluded in April 2009, was provided by Citibank N.A.

  • Endeavour structured and arranged an initial US$180 million reserve based lending facility for Pacific Rubiales, as part of a senior secured revolving credit facility totaling up to $250 million. The facility, concluded in May 2009, consists of commitments from each of BNP Paribas, Calyon, Banco Davivienda S.A., and West LB. A.G.
These facilities provide Pacific Rubiales with the necessary funding to further develop its oil infrastructure in Colombia (including drilling, oil dehydration and water treatment) in order to increase the production capacity of the Rubiales Field to 100,000 gross barrels of oil per day, as well as providing funding for general working capital purposes.

Neil Woodyer, Chief Executive Officer commented "we've been successfully advising Pacific Rubiales since 2007 and have helped arrange the three facilities throughout the adverse debt market conditions of 2008 and 2009. Endeavour's team of finance professionals is committed to finding solutions for all its clients".
