Signet Bank grants EUR 2 million to AJ Power group for natural gas reserve financing

Signet Bank has provided AJ Power, the largest privately-owned energy group in Latvia, with EUR 2 million in natural gas reserve financing.

A major line of business for AJ Power group is the sale of natural gas – the new round of financing will be allocated towards expansion of natural gas reserves for the upcoming winter period, thus increasing its competitiveness on the market.

We treasure the bank’s ability to go deep with this complex financing request, and are glad that our cooperation with Signet Bank continues with this new financing deal. We need additional investment to increase our sales and expand the range of services we offer. This is a great opportunity for us to offer our clients more advantageous terms of cooperation, and to attract new clients as well.

Roberts Samtiņš, AJ Power group member of the board

We are happy to have AJ Power group among our long-term clients and to proceed in our role as a major partner on the company’s development path towards ever more ambitious goals. Corporate finance is a priority for Signet Bank, and we are happy to offer such a successful domestic business the financial assistance it needs.

Roberts Idelsons, CEO at Signet Bank

Investment management and funding acquisition service provider LR Capital handled the provision of funding and structured the transaction with the bank.
