Jeantet has assisted NatWest Markets plc in connection with a €240 Million NAV Line to Clarion Partners Europe
16 December 2024
The Facility includes sustainability features which align with built environment decarbonisation ambitions of both businesses.
Clarion Partners Europe, the real estate investment fund manager specialising in European logistics and industrial assets, has agreed to a €240 million NAV Line facility with NatWest for one of its co-mingled funds, which reports under Article 8 of the SFDR. It represents the first transaction between the two parties.
The NAV facility also represents the first loan entered into by NatWest and Clarion Partners Europe which incorporates green loan provisions in alignment with the LMA Green Loan Principles.
The proceeds will be used, amongst other things, to fund Clarion Partners Europe’s green initiatives, including refinancing existing assets; green capex initiatives; and the acquisition of assets that meet, or are targeting, certain building energy certifications.
Jeantet’s Banking and Finance team was led by Jean-François Adelle, partner (Banking and Finance), assisted by Sara El Mouttaqi, associate (Banking & Finance). English law aspects were handled by Travers Smith.
Dan Kumagai, Head of Asset Backed Funds Financing, NatWest, added: “Supporting Clarion Partners Europe’s financing needs through this innovative green structure is an important step in the evolution of the NAV line product. It allows them, and hopefully other leading investors in the future, to continue playing an important role in decarbonisation and responsible investing more broadly.”
