Building on the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) Board of Directors’ September 2020 unanimous approval of a supply chain transaction, EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed recently announced the signing of two final agreements to make the deal – with the first-ever use of a funder guarantee structure – operative and US$50 million available to Houston-based LNG exporter Freeport LNG.
The transaction is estimated to support 200 American jobs, principally in Texas, as well as through supplier networks in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.
The groundwork for this structure was laid in September 2020, when the EXIM Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of EXIM’s partnership with the Private Export Funding Corporation (PEFCO) for 25 years and directed EXIM staff to draft and implement final funder guarantee agreements.
