Status:

i) to on-lend circa €16 million to Bay Point Hotel Limited, a fully-owned indirect subsidiary of the Issuer, to carry out refurbishment works as well as construction and finishing works of two additional floors and a conference centre;

ii) to finance the development and operation of the COSTA® Coffee brand in the East Coast of Spain, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands (circa €4 million);
