Japaul Nigeria Receives $350 Million Funding From Milost Global<\/p>\n
Japaul Oil & Maritime Services Plc, a Nigerian oil-services company, said it signed an agreement with New York base private equity firm Milost Global Inc for $350 million in shares and loans for business expansion.<\/p>\n
Milost will invest $250 million in equity and add another $100 million in convertible loans, Japaul Chairman Jegede Paul said. The fresh injection of capital will enable the company to fix grounded vessels, finance new contracts and expand into mining, he said.<\/p>\n
