Scotiabank Chile and Export Development Canada. ATCO Sabinco Financing

1.       Deal Description

Guerrero Olivos represented Scotiabank Chile and Export Development Canada (“EDC”) in the structuring of a USD35 million financing granted to ATCO Sabinco S.A., a relevant local supplier for the mining industry. Our financing team oversaw the whole transaction.

It was an interesting operation due that we had to work in a non-customary local financing structure, a fronting scheme to adjust the structure to allow Scotiabank and EDC to jointly grant the loan.
