Shearman & Sterling LLP in Hong Kong, Grandall Law Office in Beijing and Cariola, Díez, Pérez-Cotapos in Santiago have helped Chilean salmon fishery Australis Mar and its Chinese owner Joyvio obtain a US$160 million loan from Bank of China.

The deal closed last month. It includes a term facility that will be used to cover existing debt and a revolving credit facility which will be available for the company for general business maintenance.
Joyvio, with the support of China’s investment fund Silk Road, acquired Australis Mar for US$922 million in July.
