Investment in Prison PPP Project by AMOAI Infrastructure Debt Funds

Cosmic Blue PF Lotus FCP-RAIF and Cosmic Blue PF Magnolia FCP-RAIF (the "Funds"), which are the debt funds managed by Asset Management One Alternative Investment (“AMOAI”) and invest in overseas infrastructures, have recently provided project finance loans to the Mas d'Enric Penitentiary Centre located in Catalonia, Spain. The financing is a primary transaction in which MOAI was invited by the sponsors to participate in refinancing from the structuring stage. Sigrun Partners acted as Financial Advisor to the sponsors.

The investment was made in the Special Purpose Company (the “SPC”) which was set up for the operation and maintenance for the penitentiary centre. The SPC is a consortium of COMSA Corporación, a Spanish construction company, Vauban Infrastructure Partners, and PGGM Infrastructure Fund (the “Sponsors”). This is a Public Private Partnership (“'PPP”) project where services are provided through a partnership between the government and private companies. The prison was opened in 2012 and has operated successfully to date, with a capacity of 1,020 inmates.

The Funds incorporate ESG perspectives into their investment and monitoring process and aim to contribute to achieving the SDGs by selectively investing in essential infrastructure projects that improve the lives of all people. In this investment, we especially aim to contribute to the SDGs from a social erspective by supporting the provision of the public service of prisons.

AMOAI will continue to focus on investing in infrastructure projects that are crucial to countries and local communities under the keyword Essentiality' which is its investment philosophy, and will commit to building a globally diversified, high-quality portfolio.
