The non-revolving and unsecured credit line will be used as a reserve facility for refinancing loans, Uralkali said in a statement. The line will be open from Feb. 1 to Dec. 31, and will mature on Dec. 18, 2019, according to Reuters.
Uralkali is traded on the London Stock Exchange using the symbol URKA, and its largest shareholder is billionaire Suleyman Kerimov. The company is based in Berezniki, Perm Krai.
