The ABS notes were issued under the Company’s industry-leading Green Finance Framework introduced earlier this month. eStruxture’s Green ABS program represents a strategic inflection point in the company’s growth trajectory.

In addition to its inaugural Green ABS financing, eStruxture also announced its DevCo Revolving Credit Facility, providing up to C$600M of bank financing. The facility is structured with a C$300M underwritten component and an accordion for an additional C$300M available as needed.
