SIA aims to raise up to US$750m in US bond deal—report

The airline confirmed it hired banks to explore a deal.

Singapore Airlines is reportedly aiming to raise US$500m to US$750m in a US dollar bond deal according to a report by Reuters.

The airline confirmed that it had hired Citigroup, Inc., DBS, BNP Paribas, and Standard Chartered to explore a deal, without commenting on the deal size.

Citi and DBS will lead the transaction whilst BNP Paribas and Standard Chartered will act as book-runners.

The deal is said to be classified as Reg S, meaning that bonds can only be purchased outside of the United States. If the deal proceeds, this will mark SIA’s second dollar bond issuance after its first one in January last year that raised US$500m.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
