BG Group announces new $3 billion syndicated credit facility

BG Group today announces a new 5-year $3 billion syndicated committed credit facility which replaces $2.3 billion of expiring bilateral committed credit lines. The execution of this new revolving credit facility was coordinated by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and HSBC Bank plc and it includes a diversified group of international banks.

The new facility is in addition to the $2.2 billion of 5-year bilateral committed credit lines secured in 2011, taking the total of BG Group's undrawn committed bank borrowing facilities to $5.2 billion.
