Interest rates are based on USD LIBOR and margins are fixed
at the commencement of the drawdown period. Interest is paid

extended continually by a year subject to the bank’s agreement.
Syndicated facility
On 3 July 2015, the Group executed an unsecured US$1,000 million
syndicated loan facility, which was increased to US$1,200 million
on 22 March 2016. On 15 November 2017, Woodside amended the
existing facility to a US$800 million facility comprising two equal
tranches, which now expire in July 2020 and July 2022. Interest
rates are based on USD LIBOR plus 0.9% and USD LIBOR plus
1.15% respectively. Interest is paid at the end of each
drawdown period.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) facility
On 24 June 2008, the Group entered into a two tranche
committed loan facility of US$1,000 million and US$500 million
respectively. The US$500 million tranche was repaid in 2013.
There is a prepayment option for the remaining balance. Interest
rates are based on LIBOR. Interest is payable semi-annually in
arrears and the principal amortises on a straight-line basis, with
equal instalments of principal due on each interest payment date
(every six months).
Under this facility, 90% of the receivables from designated Pluto
LNG Project Sale and Purchase Agreements are secured in favour
of the lenders through a trust structure, with a required reserve
amount of US$30 million.
To the extent that this reserve amount remains fully funded
and no default notice or acceleration notice has been given, the
revenue from the Pluto LNG Project continues to flow directly to
the Group from the trust account.
