    CASCADE CREDIT SIGNS LOAN GUARANTEE AGREEMENT WITH USAID

    Armenpress

    YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS: On August 30 at Cascade Capital
    Holding's headquarters Cascade Credit CJSC and the United States Agency
    for International Development (USAID) signed a loan guarantee agreement
    according to which USAID will guarantee bonds to be issued by Cascade
    Credit CJSC. The loan agreement was signed by U.S. Ambassador John
    Evans, USAID Country Mission Director Robin Phillips, and Cascade
    Credit Executive Director Garegin Gevorgyan. This loan agreement
    will provide a partial guarantee for bonds to be issued by Cascade
    Credit, which will be issued and traded on the Armenian Stock Exchange
    (ARMEX). The guarantee will cover up to 50% of the principal amount
    of Cascade Credit's public debt, should that need arise. The proceeds
    from the bond issuance will be primarily used for Armenian export
    financing. Cascade Credit CJSC, a subsidiary of Cascade Capital
    Holdings, is a non-banking credit organization, actively engaged in
    developing the Armenian Public Corporate Debt market. Cascade Credit
    CJSC works to introduce a range of financial products and concepts
    that are specifically tailored for Armenia and aims at becoming a
    major innovative financial intermediation player in Armenia with a
    special focus on identifying market inefficiencies and eliminating
    them through profitable strategies. Cascade Capital Holdings is 100%
    owned by the Cafesjian Family Foundation (CFF), a United States 501(C)
    3 organization. According to Garegin Gevorgyan, Executive Director of
    Cascade Credit, "The USAID partial guarantee for bonds to be issued by
    Cascade Credit will pave the way for development of capital markets
    in Armenia by illustrating the viability of public corporate debt
    market." "It is also a major step towards Cascade Capital's goal
    to become a financial market leader in Armenia and the Caucasus,"
    elaborated Jonathan Stark, Deputy Director of Cascade Capital Holdings.
