Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ("ICBC") is the largest bank in the world by market capitalization and recently purchased an 80% stake in Standard Bank Argentina.
Barclay Hambrook, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to be making progress on our unconventional (shale) blocks, adding value through de-risking of the Vaca Muerta shale and other formations." Mr. Hambrook went on to say, "The recent loan funding, which is denominated and repayable in Argentine Pesos, will help facilitate our capital expenditure program on Medanito Sur. This, in turn, will allow the Company to generate additional production and cash flow without the need for additional equity funding. We are very happy to have established a relationship with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and to have been able to borrow money in local Argentine Pesos."
