Las Vegas Sands Completes Initial Funding Under Credit Facility for Marina Bay
Sands in Singapore
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Las Vegas Sands Corp.
(NYSE: LVS) announced today that the company has completed the initial funding
of SGD $2.0 billion under its credit facility for the development of the
Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The initial borrowing under the credit
facility, for which the interest rate is based on the Singapore Dollar Swap
Offer Rate for a maturity of thirty days, bears interest at
approximately 3.6%.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sheldon G.
Adelson stated, "We are pleased to have completed the first drawdown of this
precedent-setting financing for our Marina Bay Sands development. The credit
facility, which is the largest private Singapore Dollar-denominated financing
ever completed, will provide flexible and cost effective financing as we build
South Asia's first Integrated Resort. We are quite gratified that the
Singapore interest rate is significantly below the rates which we would have
to incur in the U.S. or other international markets in today's market."
