BGrimm Bond B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited (B.Grimm or the Company) is a leading Thailand-based power developer who has been one of the leaders in small power producer (SPP) gas-fired projects since the start of Energy Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) concession bidding in 1995. The Company manages an estimated installed gross capacity of 4GW mostly located in Thailand, with some limited presence in Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Vietnam. B.Grimm sells power under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to  multiple offtakers such as Energy Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Industrial Users, Vietnam Electricity (EVN),  Electricité du Laos (EDL) and Electricité du Cambodge (EDC).  IFC is seeking to invest in a privately placed unsecured green or sustainability-linked bonds (the Bond) of up to US$150 million to be issued by B.Grimm, in one or multiple tranches. The investment entails (i) an own account IFC anchor investment of up to US$110 million and (ii) an anticipated mobilization due to the catalytic effect of IFCs anchor investment of up to US$40 million which is currently expected to come from Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG) The proceeds of the bonds, combined with internal cash and other capital of the Company, will be used to finance equity investments in greenfield renewable energy (RE) projects and acquire operating RE assets in Thailand and other South East Asian countries. The investment is expected to support B.Grimms strategy to decarbonize its portfolio while increasing RE capacity in the region. The Project will support greenfield renewable energy projects and reduce GHG emissions, which will sustainably address growing energy demands in markets dominated by thermal power. IFC expects the investment to improve financial integration by demonstrating a relatively new financing instrument with potential for uptake in the wider region as companies transition to sustainable solutions and more investors seek companies adopting such strategies.
SB Thai NPL The Project is well-aligned with IFCs Debt and Asset Recovery Program (DARP), a crisis response initiative that aims to create a programmatic and strategic response to the increasing DA in financial systems and thereby have a systemic impact on cleaning up the financial systems where build up of DA will occur.  Board Approval for utilizing US$600mn of economic capital under DARP globally has been obtained. The East Asia Region (CEA) has been identified as a target for the initial implementation of DARP. The proposed investment will further mobilize investments by Standard Bank in partnership with IFC.  In CEA, IFC plans to work with a group of select servicing companies and investors (Fanny Yang Tai, ACAP, Standard Bank) and provide financing currently not available due to traditional investors either exiting the market or facing liquidity constraints.   The project would consist of a series of Senior Loan, Equity and Quasi Equity investments by IFC in pools of distressed assets located in emerging markets in the East Asia Region. It is anticipated that this exposure would be diversified across 3 to 5 transactions that would occur over a one year period. This exposure would be counted as part of the exposure approved to be taken under the Distressed Asset Recovery Program approved by the Board. The pools of distressed assets to be acquired and resolved under this Facility would be identified jointly by IFC and Standard Bank and would be required to meet certain objective criteria and their resolution would have to be carried out on the basis of   servicing arrangements and standards that are acceptable to IFC. The details of these arrangements would be spelt out in a Memorandum of Understanding with Standard Bank that would serve as framework for this partnership. The commercial terms and its compliance with the agreed criteria of each transaction would be evaluated on a case to case basis.  All transactions under this Facility would be consistent with the overall approach established for the DARP program. Well-structured distressed asset transactions improve the stability of the banking system by:   - encouraging transparency in balance sheets as the true value of distressed assets is determined by the market value paid by the buyers of NPLs;  - Active recovery efforts of NPL servicers, who have different incentives from the typical workout departments of commercial banks, help contribute to the economy by redeploying assets pledged as collateral by defaulting borrowers which can lie idle once the loan is in default.  The ability of NPL investors and servicers to make settlements with the borrowers also helps many borrowers to de-leverage their balance sheets to sustainable debt levels thereby aiding/reviving companies, and  - Improvement of credit culture in emerging markets by creating disincentives for willful default
2C2P Project IFC is considering an equity investment in 2C2P, a Southeast Asian payment service provider, to support the Companys regional growth plans. (i)	Improved access and quality of payment services: The expected Project outcome is the growth of  payment acceptance services to merchants in Thailand and the region. While Thailand has achieved high rates of financial access, adoption of digital payments lags behind. The limited penetration and the high fragmentation of payment services in Southeast Asia represent a barrier for both consumers and merchants. As an acquirer and payment processor, 2C2P enables its merchants to receive payments from a broad range of issuers and through a network cash-acceptance points across South East Asia. 
(ii)	Integration: The investment will promote the integration of merchants and consumers in the domestic and regional digital economy. By removing a key friction to development of the digital economy, 2C2P will contribute to growth of digital businesses and value chains across the region.
