New Credit Facility

Ferrexpo is pleased to announce that it has signed a new secured three year revolving credit facility of US$195 million (the "Credit Facility").

The Credit facility will amortize over eight quarters with final repayment on 31 December 2020 and will be used for general corporate purposes.

Chris Mawe, Chief Financial Officer of Ferrexpo said:

"This new Facility is testimony to the strong business profile of the Group and is a continuation of Ferrexpo's strategy to further strengthen its balance sheet in a volatile commodity price environment.
