existing USD 120 million medium term financing facility of COPEINCA, to finance
its capital expenditures and for general corporate uses.
"Copeinca has experienced the first two fishing seasons with ITQ, and we have
started to see the improved efficiency the new system allows. Through a
significant reduction in the assets needed to operate and a substantial increase
in quality and freshness of our products, we confirm an improved profitability
of 30% to 40% when compared with the old system. We expect to be able to deliver
that promise in 2010." says CEO Samuel Dyer Coriat.
