Riyadh — Mubasher: Saudi Printing and Packaging Co (SPPC) on Thursday announced signing a deal with Alinma Bank to reschedule a sharia-compliant credit facility.

The loan’s total value amounted to SAR 480 million, while the remaining amount that would be rescheduled stood at SAR 200 million, the firm said in a statement to the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul).

The tenor of the loan after rescheduling is seven years starting from 6 December 2018, with a two-year grace period.

The credit facility will be paid through six-month installments, while its interests are to be paid every six months after the grace period.
