SILVA IBÁÑEZ ADVISES BENCHMARK HOLDINGS PLC ON AN INTERNATIONAL FINANCING

Silva Ibanez Abogados (“SIA”) represented Benchmark Holdings plc (“Benchmark”), an English company leader in the aquaculture health, nutrition and genetics business, in the refinancing of its secured credit facility with a super senior revolving credit facility and the issuance of a senior secured bond, both governed by Norwegian law. The number of jurisdictions involved made of this a particularly complex transaction, which included the accession to the intercreditor agreement by the Chilean subsidiary, Benchmark Chile SpA, together with the negotiation of a guaranty and security agreements on some of the assets of the said subsidiary.

The SIA team was led by partner Luis Fernando Silva Ibanez, and included partner Gonzalo R. Gutierrez and senior associate Guillermo Bobenrieth.
