A&O Shearman advised a consortium of international financial institutions, acting as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, on two concurrent facilities provided to Twin Star Holdings Ltd., a subsidiary of Vedanta Resources Limited. Additional legal advice to the arrangers was provided by Harneys Aristodemou Loizides Yiolitis LLC in Cyprus, BLC Robert & Associates in Mauritius and Madun Gujadhur Chambers LLP in Mauritius. The transaction comprises two parallel facilities secured against receivables arising from licensing of the Vedanta brand: a USD 2.25 billion term loan facility and a USD 1 billion bridge loan facility. These facilities form a key element of Vedanta Resources Limited’s broader financing strategy, reflecting continued lender confidence in the group and the growing use of brand-linked security structures in large-scale financings, particularly within the natural resources sector. A&O Shearman represented the consortium of international financial institutions, acting as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, with a team composed by: Gautam Narasimhan (Managing Partner, Singapore; debt finance partner), David Wilson (Peerpoint Consultant, Singapore), Kathleen Tay (Associate, Singapore), Nihal Sharma (Associate, Singapore), Aditya Kurtakoti (Associate, Singapore) and Daniel-Paul Osahon (Trainee, London). Harneys Aristodemou Loizides Yiolitis LLC provided additional legal advice to the arrangers in Cyprus. BLC Robert & Associates provided additional legal advice to the arrangers in Mauritius in relation to the term loan facility. Madun Gujadhur Chambers LLP provided additional legal advice to the arrangers in Mauritius in relation to the bridge loan facility.
