Eldorado Gold Announces Execution of Senior Secured Credit Facility
Vancouver, British Columbia – Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado,” the “Company” or “We”) is pleased
to announce that, further to the Company’s press release of earlier today entitled “Eldorado Gold
Announces New Senior Secured Credit Facility”, the Company and its syndicate of lenders have now fully
executed a US$450 million amended and restated senior secured credit agreement in respect of a US$450
million Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility will replace the Company's existing
revolving credit facility established by HSBC Bank Canada and certain lenders and will become effective
upon completion of customary conditions. All terms of the Facility remain as outlined in the Company’s
prior press release, and completion of conditions precedent is expected on or prior to the completion of the
Company’s senior secured second-lien notes announced earlier today.
Proceeds from the term loan under the Facility and the Company ’s secured second -lien notes offering,
together with other proceeds, will be used to redeem the Company ’s existing 6.125% Senior Notes due
December 2020. With the expected increase in free cash flow from Kisladag from the resumption of heap
leaching and Lamaque now in commercial production, the Company expects to use such cash flow in part to
repay the Term Loan in full.
