Manulife prices S$500m notes due 2034

The notes have a fixed 4.275% interest rate.

Manulife Financial announced the pricing of a $370.6m (S$500m) offering of 4.275% subordinated notes due 19 June 2034.

The offering, detailed in an 11 June circular, qualifies as Tier 2 capital.

The notes bear a fixed 4.275% interest rate until June 19, 2029, after which they will bear interest at 1.201% above the prevailing five-year SORA OIS rate.

Manulife can redeem the notes at par on June 19, 2029, or on any subsequent interest payment date with approval from the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada).

Approval in principle for listing and quotation on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) has been received, though SGX-ST does not endorse the merits of Manulife or the notes.

DBS Bank and Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) are the joint lead managers and bookrunners, with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and HSBC Singapore, serving as co-managers.

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.
