Knight Therapeutics Inc., (TSX: GUD) ("Knight") a pan-American (ex-USA) specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has closed a five-year, US$38.5 million secured loan denominated in select Latin American currencies with the International Finance Corporation ("IFC"), a member of the World Bank Group focused on the private sector in emerging markets.

The IFC loan is denominated in Brazilian Real, Colombian Peso, Chilean Peso and Mexican Peso, with the Brazilian Real tranche representing approximately 50% of the loan and the balance split among the rest of the currencies. The IFC loan maturity date is on October 15, 2027, with principal repayments starting on October 15, 2023.
