At closing, the Facility brought together 33 banks and achieved peak demand of approximately 4 times the initial facility size, enabling GULF to exercise its greenshoe option and upsize the Facility by US$200 million to reach the final amount of US$600 million. The Facility attracted participation from a diverse group of international financial institutions across Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Philippines, India,&nbsp;Macau, and France, supported by GULF's longstanding relationships with Japanese and Chinese partners, suppliers, and EPC contractors across its projects. The strong market response reflects lenders' confidence in GULF's robust financial position, disciplined capital management, stable cash flow generation, and proven track record in developing and operating large-scale energy and infrastructure projects. It also demonstrates recognition of GULF's position as a leading infrastructure and investment group with the ability to capture future growth opportunities beyond its traditional businesses.

The strong response from the banking community, with commitments reaching nearly four times the initial facility size at peak demand, reflects lenders' confidence in GULF's financial strength, operational track record, and long-term growth strategy. This confidence is further reinforced by GULF's achievement of an 'A' credit rating with a Stable outlook from Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR), equivalent to Thailand's sovereign rating.
