US Electric vehicle maker Tesla and a group
of China banks have agreed on a new CNY10 billion ($1.4 billion)
five-year loan facility for the automaker's Shanghai car
plant, part of which will be used to roll over an existing loan, reported Reuters.
China Construction Bank (CCB), Agricultural
Bank of China (AgBank), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and
Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPDB) are among the banks
which have agreed to give Tesla the financial support, said a Reuters source.
The Chinese banks earlier this year already offered Tesla a
12-month facility of up to CNY3.5 billion, which is due to be repaid on March
4, 2020, according to a filing the automaker made to the US Securities and
Exchange Commission.
That new loan will be partially used to roll over the
previous CNY3.5 billion, the rest will be used on the factory and Tesla's China
operations. The new loan's interest rate will be pegged at 90 per cent of
China's one-year benchmark interest rate, the same as the CNY3.5 billion loan.
This is a rate that China banks offer to their best clients.
