Under the MoU, Macquarie and Trafigura will work together during an 18‑month mandate period to conduct due diligence, develop a financing structure, and seek internal approvals required to deliver a commitment letter for arranging, syndicating and underwriting the Facility. While the MoU represents a binding agreement between the parties for appointment and process, the MoU does not constitute a financing commitment, and any Facility remains subject to successful completion of due diligence, internal approvals and execution of definitive documentation.

The MoU and term sheet are non‑binding and intended solely as a basis for further discussion. Any financing or investment transaction remains subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. The MoU and Offering are supplementary to, and do not alter or replace, the existing US$200 million commitment from Trafigura, which remains in full force and effect on its current terms.

“The signing of this MoU with Macquarie and Trafigura, alongside the strategic equity investment by Trafigura, represent a significant milestone for the Rovina Valley Project. Together with our existing arrangements, these agreements establish a substantial portion of the financing framework contemplated to advance the Project toward construction, subject to securing the remaining financing, and support our continued commitment to shareholders,” says Grant Sboros, CEO of Euro Sun.
