Its tenor of roughly six and a half years pushes the final maturity from December 2029 to April 2033, and the facility size begins to amortize after three years. At the current drawn amount, scheduled repayments would start in 2031.\n\nThe facility is secured against [Kosmos Energy](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000u8y/kosmos-energy)'s production assets in Ghana. Initial pricing is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 4.5% for the first three years, a reduction of 0.25% from the current margin. The company said the facility was oversubscribed and that the lending syndicate continues to comprise a broad group of international banks, most of them part of its banking group for over a decade.\n\nNeal Shah, Chief Financial Officer, said: \"The transaction extends a key source of liquidity out to 2033, improving our maturity profile and further strengthening our financial flexibility.\" Shah added that the company's focus remains on reducing leverage, enhancing liquidity and addressing remaining near-term maturities.\n\n## Kosmos's Earlier 2026 Financing Moves\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Kosmos completed a $185.25 million public equity offering of 97.5 million shares at $1.90 alongside a $350 million Nordic senior secured bond at 11.25% due 2031 in March 2026, to repay commercial debt facility borrowings.
