“In the context of high capital costs and a potential decrease in revenues, one of our credit facilities has started amortizing in the first quarter of 2016, while our three other credit facilities will start amortizing in the fourth quarter of 2017. As a result, we are due to repay approximately $175.7 million of debt during the period between the first quarter of 2016 and the end of 2018. In the past, we successfully managed to extend the non-amortizing periods and maturities of our credit facilities, which is not practicable today in a cost effective manner. In light of these circumstances, the Board of the Partnership has decided to reserve approximately $14.6 million on a quarterly basis to fully provide for the debt repayments coming due in the next three years, up until the end of 2018.”
