    During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, one of the subsidiary of the Group entered into a series of 15-year loan agreements with total principle of CAD 23.2 million (USD 16.8 million) with bank. The loan agreements specified a variable interest rate equal to 3-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus 2.74% - 3.43%. The agreement also includes a fixed rate option, which allows the Group to swap variable to fixed interest rate of 5.75%, 5.50% or 4.50%.

    The amounts due are based on scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements. Some loan agreements have financial covenants which require certain financial ratios to be kept at certain level. As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, the Group was in compliance with all the covenants.

     

    The Group has variable-rate bank borrowings which carried interest at one-month bank interest rate in Czech and Uruguay plus margin as at December 31, 2016 and 2017.
