Temasek to offer first retail bonds up to $400m

The proposed bonds will be open to retail investors for the first time.

State investment firm Temasek is planning to offer new five-year bonds through its subsidiary Temasek Financial (IV) Private Limited, an announcement revealed.

The new T2023-S$ Temasek Bond is expected to comprise up to $400m in aggregate principal amount of five-year guaranteed notes maturing in 2023. There will be an option to upsize the offer up to a maximum of $500m.

The proposed bond will be split into placements between institutional, accredited and other specified investors, as well as the public offer tranche that will be open to retail investors in Singapore. The firm intends to list the bonds on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

The bond will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and will be offered under Temasek Financial’s $5b guaranteed medium term note programme established on 3 August.

The T2023-S$ Temasek Bond was rated “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and is expected to be rated “AAA” by S&P Global Ratings (S&P).

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.
