ST Engineering unit secures 30 aircraft engines

The deal includes about $358m of fixed rate notes offered in three tranches.

Total Engine Asset Management (TEAM), the joint venture of ST Engineering’s aerospace arm, has entered into agreements for the sale of 30 aircraft engines using a securitisation structure, an announcement revealed.

The aircraft engines power primarily narrowbody aircraft leased to 13 airlines across 11 countries, with a weighted average remaining lease term of about 6 years. The structure includes about $358m (US$257m) of fixed rate notes offered in three tranches, and the placement of equity notes.

TEAM is expected to retain 10% of the equity notes, whilst an affiliate of Marubeni Corporation and one or more other investors will purchase the balance, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing and settlement conditions.

This sale will enable the group to free up capital for future investments including aircraft engines and reduce TEAM’s capital employed.

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.
