Bayfront prices 4th infrastructure asset-backed securities

The IABS has a portfolio size of US$410.3m.

Singapore-based Bayfront Infrastructure Management (Bayfront) has priced its fourth infrastructure asset-backed securities (IABS) (BIC IV) which has a portfolio size of US$410.3m.

In an announcement, Bayfront said BIC IV’s portfolio is spread across 40 individual loans/bonds, 33 projects, 15 countries, and 10 industry sub-sectors.

Bayfront offered five classes of notes to institutional investors: Class A1, Class A1-SU, Class B, Class C, and Class D.

The platform will issue the Class A1-SU notes under the Bayfront Sustainable Finance Framework.

“Net proceeds from the Class A1-SU Notes will be used to finance or refinance projects and infrastructure debt for eligible green and social assets meeting the eligibility criteria specified in the framework.”

Class A1-SU, alongside Class A1, Class B, and Class C notes are rated investment grade by Moody’s and will be listed on the Singapore Exchange.

As the sponsor of the transaction, Bayfront has acquired 20.6 million preference shares, comprising 5.0% of the capital structure.

The UK Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), as part of its Mobilising Institutional Capital Through Listed Product Structures (MOBILIST) programme, committed an anchor investment of up to US$20.4m in the preference shares.

FCDO received a final allocation of US$5.0m, equivalent to 5.0 million preference shares.

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.
