SODIC signs EGP 270 million Medium Term Facility with Commercial International Bank to finance October Plaza

SODIC ("the Company") signed a Medium Term Facility with Commercial International Bank ("CIB") for a total amount of EGP 270 million. The facility is to finance the total development cost of October Plaza ("The Project"), the first SODIC community in West Cairo outside of SODIC West.

October Plaza is to be developed on a 30.9 acre plot and is expected to house approximately 620 residential units. The plot was acquired from NUCA at a competitive cash price of EGP 1,635 per square meter. The Project was launched in February 2017 with total sales expected to reach EGP 1.8 billion.

The debt financing comes in line with SODIC's goal to prudently increase its leverage enhancing shareholder returns. This allows the Company to maintain excess cash to pursue land bank expansion. During 2017 SODIC raised a total amount EGP 2.1 billion of new project specific medium term loans.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with CIB again, increasing our line of credit with one of the largest commercial banks in Egypt" commented Omar Elhamawy Chief Financial Officer. "I believe this loan agreement demonstrates the trust and recognition of a respected financial institution in SODIC's brand and financial position. "
