The Seymour Airport, also known as the Galapagos Ecological Airport, on Baltra Island is the airport which attracts the majority of air traffic to the Galapagos. In August 2008, Ecogal was awarded the concession of the Seymour Airport on Baltra Island in Galápagos following an international bidding process. On April 2011, the Dirección General de Aviación Civil (“DGAC”) and Ecogal entered into the concession contract which remains valid until July 2026. The contract includes the obligation of Ecogal to develop, construct and operate the airport in three construction phases of which the first two have already been completed, while the third (consisting of the re-pavement of the entire existing runway and platform) will entail a total investment for approximately US$10.0 million and will be completed by 2021 (the “Capex Plan”).The proposed financing is a senior loan in favor of Ecogal of up to US$22.3 million consisting of an IDB Invest A Loan of up to US$5.0 million and B-Loans of up to US$17.3 million. The funds will be allocated to: (i) finance up to 50% of the Capex Plan (US$5.0 million); (ii) the redemption of the outstanding balance of the bonds issued by the Company in the local market (up to US$6.5 million); (iii) pay closing expense and funding of a 6-month Debt Service Reserve Account (US$2.8 million); and (iv) payment of accrued but unpaid management fees and accrued but unpaid interest of shareholder subordinated loans (US$8.0 million).
