The project consists of a subordinated loan with a parallel financing component of up to US$420 million to a Colombian entity, with a term of up to 10 years and a purchase option at year 5. The subordinated loan is expected to be comprised as follows: (i) an IDB Invest loan of up to US$100 million; (ii) a loan of up to US$50 million financed by IDB Invest in its capacity as administrator of the Chinese Cofinancing Fund for Latin America and the Caribbean ("China Fund"); (iii) a parallel loan of up to US$250 million financed by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation ("DFC"); and (iv) a parallel loan of up to US$20 million from the Development Finance Institute Canada ("DFIC").
