SubscribeCuatrecasas has advised Grupo Ransa, a leading end-to-end logistics operator in Latin America, and its shareholder HIG Capital on a USD 209 million refinancing through a senior secured loan. Banco Santander acted as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, while Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP) served as administrative and collateral agent.
The transaction will enable Ransa to refinance its existing financial obligations under a single credit agreement subject to New York law. The Cuatrecasas Bogotá office acted as lead counsel on the crossborder transaction. The advisory services spanned seven jurisdictions across Latin America and Europe: Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, and Spain.
“Advising Grupo Ransa on this transaction has been particularly meaningful for Cuatrecasas. This Latin American multinational plays a key role in developing sustainable supply chains and driving economic growth. The transaction brought together our offices in Chile, Colombia, Spain, and Peru. It ranks among the region’s most significant logistics sector transactions so far this year,” said Natalia Arango, the Bogotá-based Finance partner who led the transaction.
Paolo Sacchi, CEO of Grupo Ransa, said: “This refinancing strengthens our financial structure and enables us to continue advancing Ransa’s long-term objectives. It provides a solid foundation for the continued growth and development of our businesses in Latin America.”
Grupo Ransa currently operates in 12 Latin American countries, with 95 locations and over 9,000 employees. Its infrastructure and storage facilities cover over 4 million square meters.
Natalia Arango led the crossborder legal team, supported by Santiago Jaramillo, Daniela Mateus, and Natalia Serrano in Bogotá. The team also included Jose Goyburu and Alejandro Arturo Zorrilla in Lima, and Carlos Lasarte de Launet and Álvaro Heras in Madrid. Macarena Ravinet, Federico Espinosa, Eugenio Avendaño, and Victoria Herrera completed the team in Santiago.
