Project scope and objective

The proposed transaction consists of a syndicated loan led by IDB Invest of up to US$350 million, with a 5-year term including a grace period of up to 1.5 years, of which US$100 million will be financed by the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB Group), US$50 million by third-party funds administered by the IDB and the rest with other mobilization of funds (the "Loan"). The Loan will be used: (i) to finance fixed investments of 16 companies of CMI Alimentos located in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic, for a total amount of up to US$210 million, to continue expanding their operations, improving their productivity levels, renew fixed assets and carry out environmental projects, and (ii) to finance the purchase of 50% of the shares of Procesadora Nacional de Alimentos CA (Pronaca) in Ecuador, for an amount of up to US$140 million, to support the inorganic expansion of CMI Alimentos (the "Project").

Environmental and social review

IDB Invest conducts an environmental and social due diligence (ESDD) commensurate with the nature, scale, and stage of the project, and with its level of environmental and social risks and impacts. The ESDD will confirm the project E&S categorization and assess the project with respect to the client requirements in IDB Invest Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy. The results of the ESDD, including any identified gaps are described in the Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) provided below. For projects approved as of 2016, any gaps with respect to IDB Invest's Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy at the time of the ESDD are addressed in the Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) presented below, to comply with the date mentioned above.
