Noble said to be planning biggest ever loan backed by inventories
Hong Kong
NOBLE Group Ltd, the embattled commodity trader, is working on its largest ever loan backed by inventories as banks demand more security, forcing a dramatic overhaul in the way it borrows.
The Hong Kong-based company is seeking US$2.5 billion in a so-called borrowing base facility guaranteed by oil, with the potential to increase the final size to US$3.25 billion if commodity prices rise over the next year, according to people familiar with the deal who asked not to be named because the talks are private.
