Financing comprises up to US$345 million in term loans and up to US$31 million in debt service reserve letters of credit arranged by Natixis, SMBC and BCI to support the Company’s Infrastructure segment project in Chile
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 1, 2026) – STRACON Group Holding Inc. (TSX: STG) ( BVL: STG) (“STRACON” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of up to US$376 million in non-recourse project financing for the Pérez Caldera infrastructure project in Chile. The financing was arranged by Natixis, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) and Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (“BCI”), and will fund the development, construction, ownership, operation and maintenance of dedicated tailings infrastructure at Anglo American’s Los Bronces copper operation in Chile.
The financing comprises up to US$345 million in term loans and up to US$31 million in debt service reserve letters of credit. The term loans bear interest at compounded daily SOFR plus a margin of 3.00% per annum, with scheduled quarterly amortization commencing October 15, 2027 and final maturity on October 15, 2030. The financing is structured on a non-recourse basis to STRACON, with debt service supported by contracted, inflation-linked project cash flows under the Pérez Caldera build-own-operate-maintain (“BOOM”) contract.
Natixis and SMBC are acting as Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and Joint Global Coordinators. BCI is acting as Senior Mandated Lead Arranger. SMBC is serving as Administrative Agent.
The project’s capital structure reflects a maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 82.75:17.25, consistent with the Company’s stated approach to Infrastructure segment projects in which approximately 75-85% of project costs are financed through non-recourse project debt and STRACON contributes the balance as sponsor equity.
Andrés Gutiérrez Leiva, Chief Financial Officer, commented: “The closing of this financing is a defining milestone for STRACON. It validates our Infrastructure segment strategy and confirms our ability to structure, finance and deliver large-scale mining infrastructure under long-duration contractual frameworks. The quality of the lending group and the terms of the financing reflect the strength of the underlying contract and the calibre of our counterparty.”
About the Pérez Caldera Project
The Pérez Caldera project anchors STRACON’s Infrastructure segment. Awarded by Anglo American in December 2025, the project involves an integrated engineering, construction, financing and long-term operations and maintenance arrangement for dedicated infrastructure assets required to condition, remove and transport tailings material from the Pérez Caldera Tailings Dam at the Los Bronces operation in Chile.
The project represents a long-duration infrastructure contract with a high-quality global mining counterparty, resulting in increased consolidated backlog and supporting recurring revenue and cash flow visibility over the contract term.
