Facility drawdown profile

Each cycle draws R32.4m as invoices are paid and is cleared by its LC. Two cycles overlap for 10 days, which sets the peak.

What drives peak exposure

Peak exposure depends on how much is advanced per cycle and how long each cycle waits for its LC to pay.

Draw-stop covenant

No new cycle until enough of the prior LC has paid to stay inside the limit.

Cycles run monthly with overlap. Exposure peaks while one shipment awaits its LC and the next is railing.

Note · Daily simulation of draws and LC repayments, calibrated so the proposal base case gives a R44.3m peak and R25.7m average. The dashed line is the proposal's own weekly chart for reference.
