Olam offers to seed senior unsecured notes at 4.5%

The company needs fund for paying financial obligations.

Olam International proposes to issue S$202.1 million (US$150 million) senior unsecured notes at a fixed rate of 4.5% due 2021 as it tries to gather funds for debt repayment.

Olam revealed that the new offer will be consolidated with the existing US$300 million senior unsecured notes also at 4.5% to form the Series 10 Tranche 002 Notes.

“The Series 10 Tranche 002 Notes were priced at 101.651% of their principal amount plus accrued interest from, and including, 12 April 2016 to, but excluding, the issue date for the Series 10 Tranche 002 Notes. The Series 10 Tranche 002 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.50% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears,” Olam explained.

The group will use the proceeds from the series for general corporate purposes including payment of existing debt.

The Series 10 Tranche 002 Notes are expected to be issued on 14 September 2016.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
