However, the new agreement also extends by 18 months the period within which Sands China is restricted from paying out dividends should it fail to meet certain criteria imposed by its lenders. This restricted period will now run until 1 January 2025. The amended facility agreement relates to an initial US$2 billion facility agreement entered into by Sands China in 2018, which was later expanded to allow the company access to an additional US$494 million if required. The 2018 agreement contained, among other things, two financial covenants requiring the company to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio at certain levels. 澳門博企金沙中國有限公司 已訂立經修訂及重 述的融資協議，根據該協議，其貸方同意將終 止日期延長兩年，直至2025年7月31日。 然而，新協議還將金沙中國在未能滿足其 貸方規定的某些標準的情況下，將不得支付股 息的期限延長18個月。這個限制期現在將持續 到2025年1月1日。 修訂後的融資協議涉及金沙中國於2018 年簽訂的20億美元初始融資協議，該協議後來 擴大到允許公司在需要時獲得額外的4.94億美 元。2018年的協議包括兩份財務契諾，要求公 司維持若干水平的綜合槓桿比率及綜合利息覆 蓋比率。
