Northland Extends Maturity Date of Its $500M Short Term Corporate Credit Facility for Hai Long to December 31, 2023

TORONTO, Nov. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northland Power Inc. (“Northland” or the “Company”) (TSX: NPI) today announces that the maturity date of its $500 million short-term corporate credit facility related to its equity contribution in Hai Long has been extended from November 27, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The facility is expected to be repaid upon receipt of the proceeds from the Gentari Sell-Down (as defined in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the third quarter of 2023), which management is targeting to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, upon certain closing conditions being met, which also include meeting requirements under the existing multi-party project finance agreements. In the event that the Gentari Sell-Down is delayed due to satisfying closing conditions taking more time than planned, the facility may need to be further extended or re-financed.
