In November 2018, PDMCX was approved for credit of 345 million RMB (approximately $51.4 million, at the balance sheet date), subject to certain limitations related to PDMCX registered capital at the time of the initial approval, pursuant to which PDMCX has and will enter into separate loan agreements (“the Project Loans”) for intermittent borrowings. The Project Loans, which are denominated in RMB, are being used to finance certain capital expenditures in China. PDMCX granted liens on its interest in land, building, and certain equipment, which had a combined carrying value of $94.5 million as of October 31, 2020, as collateral for the Project Loans. As of October 31, 2020, PDMCX had outstanding borrowings of 336.0 million RMB ($50.1 million) against this approval.
